I was a RVP in the Shane Rudman organization and met some great people in the business who did good things for people. However, I met more self centered, unscrupulous people who were Regional Vice Presidents or above who took advantage of clients as well as team memebers. For a company and a leadership who consistently preached about doing the right thing for people, this organization was an embarassment to financial services,RVP's were more concerned about putting on a good show, making their bonuses for the month and taking $199 from the 18 year old kid to make their hiring goal for the next trip or contest. The companies business model should be taught to high school freshman on the lowlife sales techniques that Primerica and other companies use to take advantage of clients. You can buy better termlife insurance on line through a little research, always find a better mortgage, the fees are exhorbitant, the loans have a prepayment penalty, and their mutual funds are mediocre. However, the company gives a motivational inspiring presentation with good financial facts and makes you feel like you can make a million dollars. A lot of people have made a million dollars through hard work, but having been around many of them they are not good people and have financially devastated many clients as well as teammates. My advice is run the other way, don't drink the kool-aid and if Shane Rudman is your hero or idol, you have settled for less. Although, he can give a great presentation. I'm sure Dale Carnegie Institute would love him.

No, not all RVPs, SVPs are all about the money and the trips. If you really had a chance to get to know some of the big leaders in the company they have done incredible things to help. The Primerica Trip is one of a kind but that's not all there is to it about the business. It's not for everybody but the people that do stick around that are tough enough do get to experience the awesomeness in the business Primerica is way more than just money. Unfortunately for alot of people they can't get through the challenges life gives them to fully experience what the business can do for their family.
I totally agree. The RVPs, SVPS, etc with Primerica are all about the money and trips. They like to show off and act like they are better than other people. Many of them are very fake and don't really care about their clients. They only want to get the sale and move on to the next person. If you try calling and contacting your agent when you have a problem, it is so hard to get the agent to call you back but when they are trying to get into your house for that first visit, they will call you a thousand times.
I'm sorry to hear of your 'bad' experience. But RVP you are not, or ever were. If anyone has researched Shane Rudman's beginnings and his current, present and past RVP's, you fail to actually be one. Wether or not you were a Rep at one point, or possibly from a competitor, you fail to justify yourself as an RVP, the length of time to become one, and the process it takes. You're attempt at Life, Savings, and Debt are the same products that would've made you an RVP , yet again, you belittle them. This was a decent attempt at slander, but please...get your research and facts before posting. At least make it somewhat credible.
By the way Primerica is not getting sold but it ever happens it will not break us down we will just rise to the occasion and get stronger. We're like the energizer bunny we keep going and going and going and going....
I'm sorry you feel that way about Primerica but like anything else you were given the freedom of CHOICE to do what's right for the client or look away. We had the similar problem with our uplines before but we chose to do the right thing and build our business with the right ethics. Contest are great but it can only take you so far but I guess you got bit by the bug contest too. Stop pointing the finger because 3 fingers are pointing right back at you. I wish I had an upline in Shane Rudman. I guess you don't know what you have till you're old and still working. Good luck in your new venture. Hopefully it's better than what you left behind.
I believe that you are who you are, and opportunities like this will only make you more of what you already are, if you had something you didn't like, you could have made a difference and changed it, but you chose the easy path, walk out and talk bad about it, it takes courage to change things, obviously, you didn't have it in you.
