What’s Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gander

Should fee-based insurance consultants be paid the same as commission – insurance agents and brokers for producing the similar results?

Fairness dictates equal pay for equal outcomes.

Commission based health insurance brokers earn between $20-$40 pepm. Assuming equal outcomes should fee-based consultants be paid the same?

If not why not?

Before you answer that let’s have a Reality Check:

A 500 life case can earn a broker as much as $240,000 a year. Try selling your fee-based consulting services for that amount and watch from above as they carry you out the front door as soothing organ music plays softly in the background.

As you lay silent in the mortuary you hear whispers of “Mildred, he was worth $30,000, not $240,000! If he had only been more reasonable we’d be out on the golf course now!”
