What happens to your "100% split":
The MLM Angle
"You earn 10 BPS on everyone you recruit."
Sounds great, until you realize the incentive structure...
Nexa profits when LOs leave
They say they make money when people leave because they keep the downlines. Their incentives aren't aligned with your success.
Zero lead generation
100% splits mean nothing if you have no leads. You need your own book of business from day one.
At CMS, we want you closing loans, not recruiting downlines.
