THE ASSURANCE GROUP - TAG ripoff UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES-LOW COMPENSATION ARCHDALE North Carolina

Too bad you don't print obscenities. My letter about The Assurance Group would be full of them. I worked for this sorry, money hungry, marketing misfit business for 6 months, the worst period of my career.

Agents are recruited by what they call national sales directors. I have another term but won't use it. They promise no less than 20 appointments made for you each week. They also tell you Medicare won't let them make more than 20 per week and the average agent closes 50% of the time. WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP. There were several weeks when I had zero appointments. Others only 4 or 6. Since I couldn't get out of my contract for 6 months (which wasn't told to me up front) the only way I survived was by getting leads from another source.

The sales director who recruited me was a real piece of work. I won't state his name but will say his deal with TAG is a family affair. Any time I tried to get in touch with him was impossible. I tried emails, telephone calls, voicemail messages, certified letters, and even Fed Ex. I was beginning to think he quit. A friend suggested that he call him, which he did. My friend left him a message that he was interested in TAG as were several associates. Guess what? He got a return call within 60 minutes. A miracle I thought...he did exist. But why didn't he return MY calls?

After six months of disgust I quit. This was right before I learned about being ripped off on the commissions. This was one of life's hard lessons for me but I was lucky. I moved on and am verry happy now. I'm sad for those stupid enough to stay with them. I'm also sad for those foolish enough to fall for their lies. The only thing these people care about is how much money you can make for them. Period. End of story. They should not be allowed to recruit outside North Carolina, if at all.
