The company closed operations and Tony lost his job. He was not provided a severance package or other retirement monies to fall back on. Tony & Cherise began to experience tough financial times. There was also a recession brewing, they could not find a job, it was then that Tony made a life changing decision. He told his wife, “We will get through this and when we do, God wants us to make it our life’s purpose and passion to teach others how to survive in their wilderness and achieve their goals and dreams.

Coach Tony and Cherise were introduced to Primerica, a company within the Network Marketing/Direct Sales Industry that marketed financial services, solutions and products. It took a couple years for them to learn the business and how to effectively market, educate and sell the products and as well as learning how to develop, lead, train and motivate their sales team. They also had to study and test to obtain all the necessary licenses in the Financial Services field (i.e., Life and Health Insurance, Investments-Series 6, 63 and 26, Variable Annuities, Mortgage Brokers and Property/Casualty).

After accomplishing the licensing milestones, Coach Tony & Cherise relocated to a new city and state. They began marketing, recruiting and developing leaders for the new team. In a new city starting from scratch with no initial market, client base or team base, they began to build a business and team that would eventually go on to become one of the Top in the state and nation.
