The real numbers
Not what people earn. How much of this is actually work, and how many people are still doing it six months later.
01 — WHAT THIS IS NOT
There are no income figures on this page and there never will be. Partly because I am not allowed to make income claims, and partly because the ones you have seen are the top of a distribution being shown to you by someone who benefits from you looking at it.
The numbers that would actually help you decide are the boring ones: how many conversations it takes, how many people say no, how many people who start are still writing business at six months. Those are the ones nobody posts.
The honest version of this page needs Miles's own figures: his conversations-to-appointments ratio, his appointments-to-applications ratio, how many people he has seen start and stop, and what a working week actually looks like. Invented numbers here would be worse than an empty page, so it is empty until he supplies them.
02 — THE ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU
Why people leave
What I can tell you without any numbers at all: the people who leave almost never leave because the product was wrong or the training was bad. They leave because it turned out to be a job about talking to strangers every single day, and they did not want a job about talking to strangers every single day.
If that sentence made you less interested, this page has done its job.
Ask me the awkward one
Whether you want to do this job or you are working out what cover you need, the first message is the same: tell me what is actually going on and I will tell you what I would do — including when the answer is that you should keep your money.
