National Agents Alliance Andy Albright WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID NAA Burlington North Carolina

I am a new agent with NAA, new to insurance sales. I with the complaintant that Andy Albright is worshipped in NAA, however, Andy's role in the company is to serve as an inspirational speaker. He does not teach, not because he doens't know, but because he has a role in the company, as do others, and any good and successful company has a structure. Yes, Andy has written a couple of books, and yes we are encouraged to purchase them. They aren't expensive. I have not purchased them and no one harps on getting me to do so. Other books are recommended, yes. It's normal to recommend books which will help with your positive thinking. I have a real estate license and every single coaching program recommends pretty much the same books that NAA does. 

NAA's leads come from a company they created which monitors public information from all counties. It picks up on when a baby is born or there is an adoption, marriage or a home is purchased. These are the leads NAA charges ten and fifteen cents each for. it costs the company money to mine these leads and send out the mailers. Why would anyone expect to get the leads for free? But, no one forces us to buy these leads. There are other places to get leads and we are free to get leads from wherever we choose to.

We don't have to go to the meetings, but statistically, agents who do, do better. You become like who you hang around with, it's that simple.

In real estate, I had to pay for every bit of extra learning and coaching I got. That is not the case with NAA. For absolutely free, NAA teaches us how to call and set appointments, meet with people, and keep track of our numbers so we know the exact measure of our success on all levels. We are provided with free videos, audio recordings, free power points, and free mentoring and coaching. If we aren't getting the success we want, for instance, if our calls aren't resulting in the number of appointments we want them to, our coach will help us improve to the point we want to be at.

As for the way NAA recruits, their system is a lot like that of Keller Williams. In real estate, every broker gives agents rewards for recruiting new agents into the office. Keller Williams asked agents how they wanted it done. Their system is almost exactly like that of NAA. It is not unethical or immoral. It is a system in which everyone, and I do mean everyone, wins.

Am I greedy because I want to live a life without lack? Does hating waking up to an alarm clock, fighting traffic, being pressuered not to be a minute late in spite of bad weather, traffic jams, construction and a hundred other things that can go wrong every morning, all make me greedy? Does the desire to vacation every year to someplace other than the local lakeside campgrounds make me greedy? Am I greedy because I want to drive a car that doesn't break down, and that I can afford to put tires on when I need to? Is every business owner greedy because he or she had a vision and worked his or her fanny off to see it come true? 

NAA isn't for everybody, but if you join NAA and you fail, you have no one to blame but yourself. In anything in life, if you're not going good at it, don't quit. Improve. If you must quit, don't try to ruin it for those who choose not to quit. To each his own, and good luck to all.
