Jeff Demo made a good faith agreement to hire me as a Sales Agent for his insurance brokerage.  He stated he would pay me $2000/month salary base + commissions from sales as well as pay for my P&C license (which included tests and application fees for theState(s) license(s)).  After obtaining my license, he, at first, refused to pay my salary or reimburse me for the fees I incurred to get the license.  We had an exchange of 4 emails in January (two from me and two from him), in which I stated my position of the money he owed me for our initial agreement.  He replied, stating that he originally wanted me to solicit from my "friends, family and current book of business" prior to me getting my license.  THIS IS ILLEGAL PRACTICE IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY.  

After explaining that I comply with the rules of the State and industry and would only solicit AFTER obtaining my license, I performed a mass marketing campaign AT MY EXPENSE AND ON HIS AGENCY'S BEHALF.  Eventually, he stated he would pay as originally agreed and that, even though I didn't do the pre-license solicitation as he wanted, he would "allow" me to solicit NOW that I have a valid license.  He also stated that he would pay at the end of the month (as that is when he pays all of his bills).  

The end of January and beginning of February came and went.  I emailed, texted and left voice messages several times over the course of 1 1/2 months with no return call or message from him.  

Finally, on March 9th, we had another exchange of emails where he stated, due to a "personal situation", he would no longer be able to comply with the original contract.  Rather, he stated he would pay the $2000 he originally owed me but, instead of continuing with the base salary (and not reimbursing me for obtaining the license), he would give me 100% of commissions for the first year.  

I told him that I had several leads I would like to put through his system and not my present agency, but, first, I would like to have the commission structure and our "revised" agreement in writing.  He never answered me or supplied the agreement.  Instead, he greedily said "Sure!  Let's not waste time.  Let's put those leads through as soon as you get them."  Because he did not send me anything in writing or a contract stating he would comply with his former words in good faith, I did not submit any business to him.  After all, burn me once stating you'll send me money and I will not submit business to you if you don't do what you're supposed to do or what you promised in multiple messages of "good faith".

I do NOT recommend working with this "business" man.  He requests that you NOT COMPLY with State regulations, DOES NOT COMPLY with contracts, DOES NOT communicate in a timely or professional manner and certainly DOES NOT PAY HIS CONTRACTORS OR PARTNERS for services rendered.
