Today, 6.30 pm	I agree with that view of a network, but not necessarily an individual firm that is willing to give someone a position. They're saving the OP a hell of a lot of aggro/work that comes with running even a small mortgage business. My adviser leans on me for support, guidance,, expertise, as we...
Today, 6.16 pm	That's how I view our network - a service provider that I choose to use, and as soon as I become unhappy with them, we're off
Today, 4.16 pm	I look at it the other way. If I generate all my leads and pay away a % of my turnover to the company for them to supply me with admin support and compliance. Who is employing who? I can take my clients anywhere and still earn but if I leave, the company makes 0. However, I make the firm £40k...
Today, 4.08 pm	Absolutely reasonable IMO. A business takes on all sorts of risk in allowing you to trade under their name, they should be allowed to target X amount of income from it.
Today, 4.05 pm	Hi Gang We have a case we are having problems with placing because of believe it or not a septic tank which is on land that our client's brother owns. Lenders don't seem to like it because of "The property shares a private drainage system which is located outside the curtilage of...
Today, 4.02 pm	Its not self employed. Its commission only. And if you're not cut out for targets then you're in the wrong game. Unless you become properly self-generating & properly self-employed. Then it can become the hobby job that it sounds like you want
Today, 3.20 pm	I never really look at it that way. I suppose you could say you are self-employed but have to work within the parameters that are set out, usually by the network. When I was an RI under a firm who were with Primis, I could market myself how I wanted, work whatever hours I wanted with no targets etc...
Today, 3.18 pm	In my opinion, you never really are properly self-employed when you're an RI of another firm. if you're really "self-employed" you should have autonomy as to how you generate business, how you market yourself, the hours you work, the place you work etc. More often tha...
Today, 3.03 pm	I think a minimum level of business is fine, as long as pre-agreed and is feasible. Actual targets when self-employed though....you're not really self-employed are you?
Today, 2.34 pm	As others have said - is it 'hard sales/use these providers' or we need people to do a minimum level of business to cover their costs?
