Are you one of the lucky ones? One that has a job? A job in your field? If you answered yes, kudos to you! Of course, having a job doesn’t necessarily mean you’re happy and fulfilled. Are you? Happy, fulfilled and making the kind of money you want to make? If not, the bad news is you’re not alone. But the good news is … it doesn’t have to be that way.
The bad news: You’re working even harder for the money.
“53% of workers reported taking on new roles, typically without extra pay.”1
The good news: With Primerica, your hard work pays off.
Our compensation system is one of the best in the industry, so when you work hard, you reap the rewards. There is no limit to how much you can make.
The bad news: Job security is an urban legend.
“About 40% of the employees say they have been working harder in the past 12 months, and 25% said they feel even less secure in their jobs this year than they did a year ago.”2
The good news: Primerica is stable and always looking to add people to the roster.
Primerica has been in business for almost 35 years. We’re always looking for ambitious people who want to start a business. There’s plenty of room at the top!
The bad news: Most people aren’t happy with their jobs.
“Fewer than half of U.S. workers are satisfied with their jobs and workers younger than 25 years were most unhappy in their jobs.”3
The good news: Primerica is a company that allows you to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
Wouldn’t you be happier if you were your own boss and in charge of how much money you can earn? Yeah, we think so, too. That’s why Primerica offers representatives a huge support system to help them build a business. We want you to succeed and have the life — and lifestyle — you’ve always dreamed about.
The bad news: Equal pay for equal work is a rarity.
“Though women are more educated and better represented than ever in the workplace, they only earn about 75% of what their male counterparts make.”4
The good news: At Primerica, everyone has the same opportunity to be extraordinary.
Male or female, whatever your ethnic background or educational background — you have an opportunity to start a Primerica business. There are no compensation disparities. You do the work; you earn the money. No matter who you are, where you come from or what you’ve jobs you’ve had in the past.

Freedom of time and money is something everyone would love to have. But how many of us sacrifice freedom to make ends meet at a J-O-B?
A great example is a man in South Carolina who recently made news for quitting his job as a car salesman in order to be there to watch his son pitch in the College World Series. Last year, the father was forced to miss his son’s first appearance in the Series because the father’s employer wouldn’t let him take time off. This year, he was determined to make it for this important family event – and the only way was to quit.
Primerica is filled with stories of families like this one. People who were sick and tired of an employer controlling their time. These leaders were searching for a way to become free – and they found Primerica.

This business gives you the chance to earn what you’re worth, on your own schedule! That’s true freedom! Having the time and potential money to live life on your terms – not someone else’s.

Primerica Co-CEO John Addison called it “the most electrifying night in the history of the company.” The 2011 Primerica Convention was no ordinary event, not even by our incredible standards.
There were so many game changers, it’s hard to list them all – from revolutionary new products to ground-breaking technology to cutting-edge new marketing tools to one of the great business speeches of all-time by company Founder Art Williams. All had a tremendous impact in the momentum Primerica has right now.
“It’s the beginning of a run,” said John, who ignited the crowd himself with a rousing closing bombshell. “We just changed the world. Things moved.”
In addition to countless hours behind the scenes for several months leading up to the Convention by virtually every division of Primerica, the event also featured a monumental show of force on location at The Georgia Dome and The Georgia World Congress Center. It was like the Super Bowl, a Rolling Stones concert and a mega-business meeting all rolled into one. Here are just a few of the facts and figures:
6 million square feet of space used by Primerica at The Dome and the GWCC
60 Semi tractor trailer trucks to transport all of the awards, marketing tools, exhibits, staging and A/V and TV gear – weighing more than 1 ton
2,000+ people on location running and staffing the event
15 miles of wire rope to suspend the truss and rigging for the staging and lighting
550,000 watts of lighting and 26,000 watts of audio power just in The Dome
9,000 feet of line rocket and data cable for pyrotechnics
436,000 square feet of carpet and 50,000 square feet of drape
1,000+ awards ranging from hand-painted portraits to giant MVP trophies
528,000 pounds of paper printed for 100,000 packets and store items
2.25 million total print pieces
20,000 orders placed on site at the stores
“We stretch the idea of what is big in this company,” John said. “We’re on the edge of something gigantic. The way to get big is to stretch yourself to a level where you never saw yourself. Every now and then, you have to look around and realize the direction has changed. We’re at one of those moments. It starts now.”
Ask any Primerica leader why they joined the company and almost all of them will tell you the same thing. They joined Primerica to be free.
Freedom is about having choices. It’s about living life on your own terms, not having salary caps or glass ceilings. At Primerica, freedom is about having the opportunity to create the life you’ve always dreamed about while helping educate Main Street families about their finances.
When he was in the NFL, Abram Booty of Shreveport, LA, was time poor. There were no Thanksgivings or Christmases. That’s when games are played. Days off were few and far between. Breaks were short. There were practices to hold. For a couple who had just had its first child, it was an emotional drain.
What Is Freedom Worth? Now, Abram makes more money each year with Primerica than he did in the NFL; and he gets to see his wife, Amy, and their kids whenever he’d like. “I was recently talking to a friend of mine who’s a professional golfer. I asked him how it was going, and his only answer was that he can’t spend any time with his family. He has kids in elementary and middle school,” Abram explained, “but he only sees them three to four times each month.” To Abram, it’s just not worth the sacrifice. With Primerica, he said, he can make the money of a professional athlete and still have a family life.
For him, that ideal life includes lunch dates with Amy and calls home when necessary. “I have friends who can’t take calls during the day. They have 30 minutes to eat their lunch. Their every moment is dictated. I would take half of what they make just to have freedom,” he said. To Abram, it doesn’t make sense to have your entire life dictated by someone else’s schedule.
Paying It Forward Before joining Primerica, Abram had moved on to coaching, so Primerica was simply a way to supplement his coaching income. Now, it’s a way to create an income stream that allows him to live his life. He says he feels like he owes it to others to help them do the same. That’s why his long-term goals involve getting more people to the level in which they can find financial independence, too. Especially now.
“I look back at people I was coaching with, and I see that there have been no pay raises in the years since I left coaching. There are freezes on pay raises all around, but there’s no freeze on inflation,” he said. According to Abram, what has been the toughest time of many peoples’ lives has been a great time for his business. He said that in 2009 his income was up a whopping 35% over 2008’s income.
He attributes his success to the fact that Primerica markets hope. Primerica shows people how to eliminate debt, generate income and save for the future, he said. That’s hope. Hope is just what he was looking for when he reached out to Primerica in 2004, and he recommends that others take that same step. He said, “If you’re working with Corporate America, your goals and dreams are not at the top of their agenda.” For him, those goals and dreams were seeing the smiling faces of his children each day and knowing that their dad could provide for them and still be there to witness their lives each and every day. Dream achieved.
