Does anyone have experience with MLP? $MLP (+1,47 %)

Both as an employer and as a client ?

They were already advertising super-aggressively at our university in the 90s. When I was just starting my career, I once went to a "consultation" and the guy wanted to sell me some obscure insurance (life combined with occupational disability and all sorts of bells and whistles). Although I didn't know much about it, I fortunately kept my hands off it. In my opinion, this is a structured sales company like many others, which customers should stay away from. Its unique selling point seems to be its focus on academics.
However, I have to say that my boss has been with MLP for many years and is very satisfied. I just don't want to know what this all-round carefree package has cost her 🙈

@randomdude Yes, I had that feeling too. I'm quite skeptical and not really convinced.

I have had very bad experiences.
In my experience, students (like me at the time) are mainly lured in by dubious competitions or Excel seminars. Then the offer of free "financial advice", which amounts to opening accounts with MLP under the 3-account model. My broker's main aim was to sell me a Riester pension or to cancel the good and inexpensive life insurance policy I had already taken out with Allianz as a student in order to take out a new one with MLP for a brokerage fee.
Fortunately, I didn't end up being sold anything and only kept the promised €10 Amazon voucher😂

Hi @Twizzi - I have been an MLP client for over 25 years and am satisfied with the advice and selection. However, I don't use MLP for investments, but for property and health insurance/insurance.

Already had many concepts on the table. The result: mixed. There are definitely employees there who do a good job, but there is often a lot of nonsense. If you ask questions, it quickly becomes thin. So as with many other brokers/agents/strukkis etc. - You have to have the right advisor.

@Dr27589 I'm just a person who really likes sales. I can say that I do my best to give honest advice and I expect the same from the company.
How are you set up to be 100% self-employed and independent?

@Twizzi Sales as such, or explicitly related to MLP? If the latter: Why?
I am self-employed and independent of any shareholdings or similar. - I am free to decide what I do and how I do it.

@Dr27589 sales in general. I really enjoy advising people and being active during the day.

@Twizzi If you are working for MLP, then it is also part of honest advice to mention that you will be employed there as a commercial agent who (by law) is entrusted with brokering their business. Even if the MLP presents itself to the outside world as a broker, some large insurers hold not inconsiderable stakes in the company. Whether the whole thing is still transparent and you can really position yourself as a broker on the market in this way, I'll leave it at that.

@Dr27589 Perhaps another question, if you were to compare MLP with DVAG. Would you say that MLP is a bit ahead?

@Twizzi In my opinion, no performance is better than the dvag. Is that your benchmark? You wrote about other requirements in the first comment 😅

@Dr27589 no 😂 but I have a picture of DVAG and am now trying to classify MLP there. If you'd said you'd put them in the same place, it would have been done for me straight away.

@Twizzi At mlp you are not driven like a dog to recruit new employees. That's good. As for the rest, I think there are better opportunities to build something up in the industry. What makes this company interesting for you & what kind of job offer do you have?

@Dr27589 Yes, I've often thought that too.
Well, I'm still a student at the moment, having completed vocational training as a finance/insurance clerk. I have about 3 years of work experience in the field.
MLP approached me with the offer that I could work as a consultant during my studies. I would be self-employed right from the start and would of course have to take care of new clients myself. But I would be accompanied and supported from start to finish.
The way it was offered to me, it sounds like a good, lucrative extra income during my studies.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to work there. Lots of black sheep there. Mediocre training system. You would be a sales representative there, so you often can't offer the customer the best product. Depending on where you are, you are forced to show good figures, so many advisors end up selling crap like Riester pensions. If you like sales, then try to get into an independent brokerage. There are always one or two companies in the city that earn a fortune and still give customers good advice. I would recommend TauRes to gain experience.

@MarcelGova Hey thanks a lot, I'll take a closer look. I'd actually never heard of TauRes before. Thanks in any case :)

And I would completely avoid something like debeka, it's easier to get customers, but the insurance products are never all good. Accordingly, you turn the customer into some shit

@Michael-official well, you can also take the Deutsche Bank chart, which doesn't look much different 😅

@Michael-official I'm more concerned about it, I got a job offer from them but I don't want it to end up being stuff like DVAG 😅

@Michael-official Yes, I've already done everything and found nothing negative.
I think I'll listen to the offer in person and then decide how I feel.

Thanks :)
