The answer is simple: Primerica Financial Services.
Don't believe it? Do your research and you won't find any other company with people earning 7 figure income every year. Primerica has a proven track record of success. You will be a fool to not look at the business opportunity.
Not only does Primerica has the 7 figure income earners, it also has the most 6 figure income earners as well.

Long live Bob Safford Sr.
Yesterday, Bob Safford has passed away at age of 77. I barely knew him, but I seen him do training couple times for the Keith Otto Hierarchy. The things he taught has greatly improve my business. He taught the 3rd party referral system. The last time I saw him do training was probably in 2008 in Bushkill, PA.
I remember he was the most excited and energetic person I ever met, especially for his age. I don't remember his entire history. I know he grew up poor above some bar when he was a child. I think he served in the military. Then he built a very successful insurance company. Then he joined Primerica long time ago (I think it was in the early 1980s) and built an amazing business.

I don't want to work!
There some people out there that feel when they join a MLM (multi-level marketing) company, they don't want to work because every time they get paid, their uplines get paid too. So basically they are selfish and want to keep all the money to themselves OR they are just lazy. But you know what? They are only hurting themselves by not going to work and fighting for their future. They won't make any money and their business won't grow. Their uplines will make money whether their downlines work or not. Why? Because the uplines can do the work themselves and also they will continue to recruit more people. If you take a look at the larger picture, everyone are independent business contractors. You work for your own business. It doesn't matter if the person who recruited you is also earning profits from the production of your business. You have the same opportunity to recruit more business associates.
Also, commission rates are base on your sales level. In MLMs, there are several sales level. Everyone starts at the bottom and they have the opportunity to move up to the highest paying sales level. It's their choice on whether to stay at the bottom or work their way up. When you make a sale, you are paid a certain percentage base on your sales level. Every time you make a sale, the company pays your uplines an override. An override is the difference between your sales level and your upline's sales level. There is no split-commissions, unless more than one sales agent was needed to make the sale.
What if you do reach the top? Your uplines will still continue to earn overrides off your business. It will be a small override, but it will be a very big paycheck. People at the top are usually earning 6 to 7 figure incomes. I know that in Primerica, people at the top earn 7 figure incomes or close to it. Guess what? Most of them are not even working. They are enjoying life. If they die or wish to retire, they can pass their business to their kids and grand kids or sell it to another agent.
Can you do any of this at your job? Can you even earn this kind of income? If you can earn this kind of income, are you able to enjoy your life by doing things you want to do at any time? I know for a fact that in a job, the more money you earn, the more stress and responsibilities you have. Also, if you earn too much income at that position, the company has the right to fire you and hire another employee with a lower paying salary. You could be the best employee, but you have to know you are an expense to the company. In MLMs, everyone is a profit to the company because everyone is a sales agent. Every time someone makes a sale, the company earns a profit. So the company has no incentives to terminate the agent's independent business contract.

Convention almost here!
The convention is about 3 weeks away and the person who started it all, Art Williams, is going to be there! If you been to the previous Primerica conventions, you have no idea what this convention is going to be like. Primerica is running the show now since the company is an independent financial company.
My advice, get to work and go to the convention with a good feeling. Don't go there alone. Bring people with you. This event can change your life forever. Then come out with a great feeling to take your business to the next level.

Is Primerica a Scam?
I don't know how many times I answer this question but if you really did the research, you will eventually find out that Primerica is not a scam, a pyramid scheme, or a ponzi scheme. I will provide the facts to you on how Primerica is not a scam, but first lets define what a pyramid scheme or a ponzi scheme is.
A pyramid scheme as define by the Securities Exchange Commission is where participants solely make money by recruiting new participants into the program. The hallmark of these schemes is the promise of sky-high returns in a short period of time for doing nothing other than handing over your money and getting others to do the same.
What is a ponzi scheme? The SEC has full information about it. Web address is: http://www.sec.gov/answers/ponzi.htm Primerica has over 25,000 registered representatives, the largest mutual fund sales force in North America. They market mutual funds from well known companies such as Legg Mason, Fidelity, Inveco, American Fund, Oppenheimer, and many more. Primerica has done very well in regards in providing customer service. They have won the Dalbar Service Award every year since 2004.
So what is Primerica? It is a multi level marketing company (MLM) and there are thousands of companies that are MLM in the United States. It is estimated that over 1 million people are currently involved in MLM companies. People who have problem with a MLM company are usually people with a job and they are stuck with a job mindset. But people with a business mindset will say that Primerica is the best business opportunity in America so far that is worth trying.
Anyway, I'm here to discuss on how Primerica is not a scam. Here is a list of facts about Primerica:
1) There are over 100,000 life licensed representatives in the company, the largest marketing organization in North America.
2) Primerica been in business since 1977.
3) There are currently over 4.3 million clients in Primerica. That's lots of clients for a company that you think is a scam. Not only that, clients has invested over $28 billion through Primerica in various mutual funds and money market funds.
4) Primerica has marketing agreements with various companies. They market Citicorp Trust Bank debt elimination loans, Metlife's Variable Annuities, ING 401(k), Genworth Financial's Long Term Care, Auto&Home Insurance referral program for Answer Financial Inc, mutual fund companies such as Fidelity, Legg Mason Partners, Oppenheimer, American Fund, Invesco, and so on. Primerica Financial Services owns their own life insurance company called Primerica Life and an investment company called PFS Investment Inc. It markets term life insurance for National Benefit Life in New York.
5) Primerica has over 5000 offices in USA and Canada. The home office itself (located in Duluth, GA) is over 1 million square feet and it has its own zip code.
6) Primerica spun off from Citigroup on April 1, 2010 and is listed on NYSE as symbol "PRI". Prior to this historic event, Warburg Pincus has agreed to invest $230 million in Primerica (which by the way spent $10 million researching Primerica), owning roughly 23% of the shares. Citigroup will own 50% of the shares. 12 months later, Primerica was named the best IPO of the year.
7) Every financial company in America has to hold an annual compliance meeting. Primerica holds their Annual Compliance Meeting in the month of November. Every representative in those companies that are licensed in life, mortgage, and/or securities must attend that meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to keep representatives up to date to rules and regulations set by the federal government. By having this meeting, it protects the consumer as well as the representative.
8) Primerica representatives are require to get certain licenses in order to talk about certain financial products. For example, if you wanted to solicit life insurance, you need a life license or a producer license. If you want to talk about mortgages or debt consolidation, you need a mortgage license. If you want to talk about investments, you need a securities license. These licenses are only issued by the state or the federal government (mostly state, except for the securities which is issued by the federal government), they are not issued by individual financial companies. To get these licenses, you have to pass a test. After you get your licenses, continuing education is required.
9) Besides the fact that Primerica has over 100,000 licensed representatives, they also have about 2000 employees.
10) Primerica has its own TV network that does live broadcast every Mondays and Wednesdays at 12pm. The broadcast usually has Co-CEOs or the President of Primerica speaking first. Then after they speak, successful leaders in the company does live training.
11) Over 60,000 people attends the Primerica convention, which occurs every other year on an odd year. I'm not sure if they will still hold it at the Georgia Dome in the future since the company is getting bigger and bigger. I've been to every single convention and that dome is packed from the seats to the field. Its the most amazing event where everyone gets together. "One team. One dream."
12) Primerica is member of the Better Business Bureau, which gave Primerica a business rating of A+ (as of April 1, 2010)
13) Winner of Dalbar Service Award in since 2004
14) Primerica is member of Insurance Marketplace Standard Association (IMSA). More info can be found about IMSA can be found at: http://www.imsaethics.org/Content/AboutIMSA_46.aspx
15) Member of American Council of Life Insurers, as association of 377 companies representing 91% of total life insurance assets in the US, 90% of life insurance premiums, and 95% of annuity considerations.
16) Listed on Russell 3000 index and Russell 2000 index as of July 1, 2010. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
17) Named as a perfect business model in the book "ABC of Making Money"
But if you think Primerica is still a scam after all this proof, I got news for you. You are either ignorant to information or someone who really hates Primerica. No matter what you think, Primerica is here to stay for generations to come because the company always do the right thing with their clients. If you seen what I seen, you will be heart broken by how so many people out there screw up their finances. What's even worse, many people don't know they are financially hurt or they think their problems will go away. Its not that these people wanted to be in that position, they just don't know there are far better options out there.
I believe there is no company out there that is better than Primerica. I help people save money on their life insurance and providing them 2 to 5 times their current coverage. I help people get out of debt. Banks want people to stay in debt for the full term so they can collect all the interest. Primerica helps people to get out of debt faster, therefore paying less interest and saving time. I remember helping one client pay off the mortgage 14 years sooner. He had 26 years left to pay on the mortgage and now he has 12 years to pay off all his debts. I help people build wealth toward retirement and other goals by investing in various mutual funds. There are all kinds of mutual funds that is right for any investor. There are mutual funds for the conservative investor who don't like to be exposed to high risks in the market and there are mutual funds for the more aggressive investors who are willing to accept high risks for potential of higher returns. On top of all this, I provide a free financial needs analysis to all my clients to help them reach their goals. I even take it a step further by inviting them to the business opportunity.

A pyramid scheme as define by the Securities Exchange Commission is where participants solely make money by recruiting new participants into the program. The hallmark of these schemes is the promise of sky-high returns in a short period of time for doing nothing other than handing over your money and getting others to do the same.
The fraudsters behind a pyramid scheme may go to great lengths to make the program look like a legitimate multi-level marketing program. But despite their claims to have legitimate products or services to sell, these fraudsters simply use money coming in from new recruits to pay off early stage investors. But eventually the pyramid will collapse. At some point the schemes get too big, the promoter cannot raise enough money from new investors to pay earlier investors, and many people lose their money.
In other words, people pay money to join and this money goes to the recruiter and to all the people above that recruiter. Eventually the pyramid will get to big where there isn't enough people joining to pay off everyone already involve. In Primerica, this does not happen. In Primerica, it cost $99 to cover licensing fees and a background check. The recruiter or the company does not earn income from this. I recruited lots of people and I never got paid for recruiting. The $99 goes to the state department of insurance. If you were to get a life license, a securities license, and a mortgage license, its going to cost you almost $1000 or more on your own. At Primerica, its only $99. $99 to have an opportunity to build a business and earn unlimited income is a joke because most people who join the company don't treat their opportunity as a business. They treat it as a hobby or something to do on the side. So they won't work as hard as they need to. If they open their own business that's going to cost at least $100,000 to start up, they would work hard every single day to earn that money back and it will take them at least2 years to finally break even and start seeing profits. At Primerica, you can earn that $99 back by helping one family, which takes 4 hours of work. With my first client, I earn $300 by replacing a variable universal life insurance with a 20 year term insurance. I saved the client over $600/year and double their coverage.What is a ponzi scheme?
