The letters we send out literally say if you want supplemental life insurance to fill out this form and send it back no bait and switch. Yea some recruiters might over exaggerate but not all of them do that. The guy who recruited me makes over 500k I know this because I saw his tax returns. He said first year I’m looking at making $50k. There hasn’t been a single word about recruiting other agents or trying to recruit the leads since I started training. There are a few bad apples in every insurance organization, but if you have morals and a good work ethic you can be successful anywhere. This is the only insurance company that’s ever offered me free leads and 1 on 1 training like this.

[@jasminewalker5678]

I’m currently in the hiring process of AIL. And my recruiter was completely honest about how difficult things would be in the beginning, and I did actually get a script to memorize and follow. He explain how much I could possibly make in my first year, and it was not as high as 100k. But he did say there is an average of possibly 50k. He was very transparent about the process and how they do things, and ask if I was interested.

[@NicoleGONDO]

Did you finally go through with it . And how is it going ?

[@jesusfreak316]

My recruiter was honest and upfront as well. He is a retired police officer. He did say there will be a grind at first and I will be a "glorified phone setter" till things take off for me. I want to back out, but I remember all the hours I sacrificed to get my license. Its like my Dad said "Son, the only thing that beats a failure is not trying". Good look fellow AIL teammate and may God show favor on your business.

[@anthonywilson6736]

My foot was ALMOST in the door with AIL. Got my Life license, I was all excited..until they used the bait and switch tactic on me before signing any contracts to be hired. I immediately knew if they were doing this to me (an agent who wanted to be hired) then they'd likely want me to do the same to others. I walked away.

Heyo, I'm glad to find someone else in a positive mindset about this cause I've fallen down a rabbit hole of negativity surrounding AO/AIL. Ive still been training so far but the team I'm with seems really understanding and from what I understand it's kinda up to the personal team you end up with that determines how it will go. Im not really here trying to make 100,000k or any crazy numbers, just more than minimum wage was making me. The folks I've talked to in the company and in my team so far have all been positive and had similar experiences with making their first sale in a week or two after getting their license.

[@FinishingTouchesWithAngel]

This is exactly the same experience I had with AIL. I was sold on the fact that you were given leads that were free based on the marketing efforts they did to receive them. Once you get into the training you see realize it was nothing more than the bait and switch. I knew it was going to be a hard pass for me at that point. The salesman was really good at selling me on the commissions earned by others just as the guy mentioned and it was complete BS. I’m sure there are some that are doing well but not many using that tactic. One guy that seemingly was doing well had telemarketers to call on his behalf and set up the appointments for him. I’m not sure if they were upfront about what the call really entailed but we were told he had great sales in the meetings. However, knowing how they operate now I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a complete lie. The beginning to a complete waste of time. I could go on with my current situation as well that I am finding out is another ploy on a different level that is equally disappointing. Bottom line is you better be ready to do the work and beat the pavement like the good old days! It’s not for the weak and lazy. PS Buying leads is a bunch of crap as well!

[@darrickharris5534]

That definitely has not been my experience with this company. The issue is that agency owners may operate there businesses differently. The PR team that build the relationships with the Unions actually forbid some of the tactics that I am hearing here. The Union provides benefits, the agents job is to go over those benefits, you discuss the need for life insurance if there is a need. If there isn’t one then it is not a problem. You are never to do high pressure sales or sales tactics. That actually against what they stand for. Bad actors will always make the good ones look bad.

[@calvinsimpson1301]

Yeah I highly disagree. I was definitely pressured to sell insurance regardless of need. Most of my leads were retired people who would be paying a grand a month for whole life. They *required* me to give them a list of family and friends as leads, and they absolutely gave us "free" AD&D and child safe kits solely for customer information for new leads. That information immediately went into the lead packets even if they explicitly stated they have no interest in life insurance

I worked for ail for one year. I sold about 28000 alp in that year. Didn’t make much money maybe about 1200 a month on average. However I was living abroad working online and it was the only job I could find that I could work online out of the country. So overall I’d say it was alright. I wasn’t really the best agent. I’d say the people who are really talented salesmen/people person would make 2000-4000 a month but that’s only the really hard working/talented. I feel the leads actually weren’t that bad but that’s just my opinion I had got a new Sga who was buying fresh leads so that might have made a difference.

[@jaysondeville3000]

I’ve been with AIL for about 2 months. Within my first month, I made my required milestones and got promoted. I don’t pressure or use any kind of bullying tactics. Exactly like the previous comment stated, one of our no cost benefits we offer is our needs analysis survey. Based upon you basic medical and household questions, we build a plan to supplement any gaps in your current life coverage. I show them their options and simply ask yes or no. If it’s too high based off what the needs survey suggested, I then custom make them a plan to better fit their needs. A client will buy the agent before they think about buying the insurance. If the people here that talk bad about AIL because they did not make sales, it’s probably not the company’s fault or the way they do business, it’s more than likely, the agent just didn’t seem confident in the products they were presenting and they weren’t perceived as a trust worthy agent.

I work for AIL I’m doing fine

[@jaysondeville3000]

Same here. I’ve been with AIL for a mere two months. Got promoted within my first month! Not saying it was easy by no means. As far as the leads go, they are “warm leads” and we have different types. The union member leads actually have nothing to do with our child safe kits we offer (at no cost). Our union, association, and credit union member response cards are filled out and based on an AD&D life policy for different benefit amounts. The members nor the unions, associations and credit unions pay anything for these policies. If the unthinkable were to happen, AIL pays out the policy as agreed upon. Everyone we visit with gets the same no cost benefits and an opportunity to enroll in optional benefits. I personally don’t pressure anyone to purchase life insurance. Insurance is something either someone wants or doesn’t. If they want it, 9/10 will buy solely based on the agent in front of them. If they like the agent and trust that person, they will buy, if not, then they probably won’t. It’s just that simple.

[@jmo4347]

​@@jaysondeville3000 Getting promoted to a Supervising agent is the easiest thing. With a week or two of decent business written you are told you are doing well and blah blah blah. After one week of writting $6k ALP which is nothing, I was "promoted". The goal is to get as many people in the door as possible and keep the offices staffed and mask the revolving door. I think a good indicator is how the name "Global Life" has been used instead as AIL. It has a terrible wrap. If I had to start over, I would of went with a reputable company that actually sold a variety of products with out the sharade of Child kits, and the "Gift" og $2,000 AD&D policy. But we live and we learn.

Then they send out an agent who is 100% commission to these appointments. The clients are not home or are expecting something free. They have this routine where you are supposed to spend 4 hours on the sales process wearing them down. The tub starts out at $25k. Then they offer last years model for maybe 15k and offer financing. It's a very difficult sale and even if they agree, they may get financing denied. Horrible business model, but they are making a killing.

Second, they take people that requested a "free" Will Kit or a "free" Child Safe Kit and they call them to do a two-call close meeting. They attempt to sympathize with you for your desire to get whatever free pile of crap they are peddling. Then they end their sloppy presentation with a grab at Life Insurance.

Here in New Zealand, our financial services industry is very tightly regulated, and any sign of non compliance, and you are gone. I was never promised that I would earn a certain income, BUT there are people in AIL NZ that are doing very well thanks for asking. And I know it to be real as I have seen their Tax returns.

[@marilynphantastic5796]

Agree with everything you said, seems like everyone is just looking for things to blame for their failures.

[@marilynphantastic5796]

I work with AIL since March, and made more than 100k so far. Instead of finding someone to blame your failures, just own up to it and admit maybe the job just wasn’t for you. It takes HARD work. It’s very possible. You do NOT have to recruit to make good money here, my first month with no team I made over 20k. You don’t recruit your clients that say they can’t afford it. This guy more likely was with a terrible team and didn’t work for him. But it works for myself and ALOT of people I know.

[@Bigguy13-sy6mk]

I worked for a full year there and I made 12,000. You being an attractive young woman and probably a hard worker/ good sales person is what made you that money. I seen probably 100+ people go through our office and no one made 100k except the Sga. Even the mga’s were making about 50k a year

Call your bank and have the payments blocked. I had to do that. They owe me about $300. I filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau and hopefully they take care of it.

Hi I am currently an agent with AIL, last year which was my first year with AIL I made a total of 189,000. It's pretty much you get what you put in. They give you leads the train you by home office and you have support

[@stefcat5331]

Having dealt with them for years, my opinion of A I L is that it is a scam and it employs grifters, thieves, and liars. If an agent shows up at your door with followers in tow, slam the door and call the cops and your state insurance agency. Do not have any dealings with AIL, you'll get cheated.

[@CuylerAyers]

Sorry about your experience but calling all ail agents thieves is pretty harsh.

[@IAMTIMBUTLER]

He must of tried to join the wrong agency within AIL or they had terrible management either way this information is void 😅

[@BigToneOfficial]

Currently working with AIL out of illinois with my temp license. So far my group has been nothing but honedt about this job. They told me its going to be hard and there is only a 5% chance of me sticking with it. The job is an absolute challenge, but is great for me. If I were to fail its a me problem. Their motto this year is you vs. you. Its all about what you make it.

hey, im about to take my exam. do you have any updates? or can we talk more about this?

[@GeraldRomero-xm3mv]

WOW! So, obviously this entire video is completely biased. But to each their own! lol So, if Bucky would have gave the job a fair shake, he would have learned how these things ACTUALLY work. There is no "bait & switch" everything was laid out honestly and upfront. Not sure who you dealt with but that it NOT how the whole organization operates. This is not any MLM stuff either. lol I think if you really knew what you were talking about you would be able to actually make some valid argument but to me, it just seems like American Income Life is giving you a run for your money. The amount of training and information I received from start to actually beginning training was more than any other job I have ever had. I make it a point to clearly let recruits know the possibilities and that 100K is NOT expected right out of the gate. I was recently promoted to a GA position and have been very successful. I find it a bit humorous that you have so many videos pointed at AIL lol Seems like you are trying to do the same thing you said we do except you are trying to negatively impact someone else's business rather than focus on yourself. You do not see slam videos from other companies on their competitors. I think it is childish and quite frankly borderline defaming. I'm all for educating the mass to the truths about life insurance but tearing down another organization to try to get ahead yourself is downright deplorable. But, hey, the insurance industry is a tough one and you hit the nail on the head, most newer agents do not succeed. I do wish you the best of luck with all of your future endeavors.

[@OG.Prodigy.]

I think ish I saw This 3 weeks ago before I applied for their position

[@ryanracioppo6865]

If you dont mind, state/province did you work with? I'm in Ontario north of Toronto, and wondering if others areas have different experiences. I talked with one of their agents about getting hired today, and they metioned a shadowing experience for a few weeks before going on the job. This is where I'd learn from another sales agent on their schedule; that could be a good experience. The license has me overly critical about the job; otherwise, I'd just be investing my time, which I can afford now. I'm considering what to do and taking everything I heard with a grain of salt, including what I heard from this video and the agent I talked to today. Is it true when they train you to sell people on working for the company? If that's true, then I am worried about the working experience and will reconsider. Thanks for any advice!

[@jhaialx2399]

@@ryanracioppo6865so im currently based in Texas and im joining an ail organization right now i have a couple friends that have been part of the company for 2 years and they recommended me to join, the process so far has been smooth during the licensing process everything in total cost me about $200 $50 for an online course through excel, 50 for a finger print background check $40 for the exam and $60 to submit my application for my license. During the process i let them know iwas low on money and they didn’t pressure me to buy it right then in there and made sure it worked best for me. As of right now im going through a training which consist of script training, classroom training where I essentially role play a sales call and then sales training where ill be shadowing and assisting a manager agent until im able to present my own presentation

No body promised me anything lol! They said work hard follow the process I have a great leader! Poor leaders are poor leaders no matter what! This should read poor leadership never had to go for my family, nor friends! Lol no leadership letter! I was told referrals built a 1,000 referrals leads with none those leads in 5 weeks! I would love to be interviewed! I work with AIL. Never told people that if they have work issue/unemployment and pivot! Please interview me! None of these things occurred under the leadership that I work with!

Im completely torn rn... im 3 weeks in after passing out of training and my leadership has been very good IMO... However, I heard some recent news on chargebacks and if you quit, youre screwed because they'll bill you on all the advanced commission....

This is all honestly completely false and probably this guy just trying to recruit anyone who was interested in AIL. Ive been with AIL for 4 years and make well over 6 figures. The leads arent at all how this person is describing (at least my agency) and the game plan is certainly not to recruit our clients to come work for us... thats actually laughable. Id never listen to another insurance agent talking about another insurance agency...they obviously want you to go to them not AIL or whoever you're looking into....

[@Tornado683]

This comment is stupid, they 100% us bait and switch tactics, all of the agency uses child safe kits and the union benefit to get into the house and sell the insurance. Obviously selling insurance is hard but the paint a picture that everyone can do it and it’s just not true

I was recently contacted by AIL and referred by a family friend to receive child safety kits. Apparently worth $2000. Next thing I know, I being signed up for life insurance. And referring my family and friends. That's how they get their leads. If your branch does it differently. I would love to know how.

[@theviolenceenjoyer]

Isnt this defamation?

[@denamiller9627]

I kind of thought that but, why wouldn't we have the freedom to candidly review a company and give an honest account of your experience? If somebody was making up lies against them I think that would be more in the defamation definition. I gave my experience in the comments hopefully to deter another naive new agent from a negative first introduction into this industry.
