8-23-07: Insurance Journal News - Contributor comment: If you read this very carefully, you begin to really question the plan. They want to add agents to one of the most competitive insurance battlegrounds in the country and there are loads of companies already here (and entrenched) to do business. How can a new (from scratch) captive agent succeed? Due to political reasons, I cannot appear on your site, but thought you would find this interesting. I guess what bothers me most are the innocent lives (and families) that will be affected by a career choice.

4-3-2007: Rich Winters makes Farmers-Online News. Saw a DM Video video about the wonderful Farmers Agent opportunity on a local TV station over the weekend. We can only hope that any potential Farmers Agents do their research and end up here. The video is full of the standard array of catch phrases, drivel and brainwash that all of us former agents have become accustomed to. Congratulations Rich Winters for flawlessly reciting back the brainwash and making the Financial Services Agent opportunity look like something more than just a pyramid scam. Here is a cold link to the video http://arizona.jobing.com/Video_Main.asp?i=44676&JTV=1&Segment=229 copy and paste into your browser so you can view what could easily follow a late night ronco or get rich quick with real estate infomercial.
