Cool, I thought! (Still think so too)
I got a call regarding the details and found out it was about a company called Primerica. I said I recoginzed the name, but couldn't remember where from. He mentioned about how it's part of Citigroup and are going to be opening 3 new offices in my area.
When he talked about part-time employement I wasn't too keen, but was more interested in the full-time possibilities that he'd reference then lead away from. Naturally I thought they were looking for part-timers and didn't really need any full-time staff at the moment.
Then I went to Google their ass. Naturally. I don't want to walk into a seminar unprepared (unless I'm getting course credit). I found a few websites about the "Primerica Scam". Then I thought the good people at CP will know!
So as I typed the title of my thread, I thought "I better search this, avoid a possible fata". Score one for MQS, I found this thread (no fata for me mother fataers!)
Anyway back to my serious self,
I'm going to attend their seminar and see what they have to say. A few sites warned about fast paced presentations, and to paraphrase the websites in my own words "smoke and mirrors". Having debated competitively for over ten years, I can generally spot misdirection a mile away.
That said, has anyone attended one of these (I'll be re-reading this thread tonight)? Anyone have any suggestions, tips, things to look out for when they're presenting?
Thankyou in advance, and I promise to tell you how things go
MQS
(PS: The presentation is downtown where the bars are so worst case scenerio I don't have far to get drunk, hell I don't have to leave the building to go to my favourite bar in the city, can I get a woop woop)

A good multi-level is good at one thing: getting you excited and sucking you in.
You have to believe in the product and you have to market yourself HARD to be successful. If you don't believe that you are selling the best investment possible, then don't get into it. If you can't market yourself, then don't get into it.
I'd rather get drunk than hear the pitch. My two cents.
