Start Offering Gold with Confidence

Marcus spent 12 years selling life insurance and annuities in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. While successful, he noticed his clients were increasingly asking about alternative assets — particularly gold and silver — as a hedge against inflation. He had no precious metals experience but recognized the opportunity.

Marcus needed a way to serve his existing client base's growing interest in tangible assets without abandoning his insurance practice. He was looking for a program that provided institutional-grade training, compliance support, and a trusted brand he could confidently recommend.

Marcus started part-time, dedicating 10 hours per week to the ASG program while maintaining his insurance book. He leveraged ASG's proven call scripts to introduce precious metals to his existing clients during annual policy reviews. Within 60 days, he had his first IRA rollover — a $127,000 account from a long-time insurance client.

By month six, Marcus had transitioned to full-time precious metals advisory. His insurance background gave him a natural advantage in discussing retirement planning and wealth preservation. Today, he manages a portfolio of 89 active clients and consistently ranks in ASG's top 5 agents nationally.

Jennifer was a registered financial advisor managing $12M in client assets, while David ran a residential real estate practice. Both had extensive client networks but were looking for a complementary income stream that aligned with their existing relationships. A colleague introduced them to the ASG Agent Program.

As a team, Jennifer and David needed a program flexible enough to accommodate two different selling styles and client bases. Jennifer's clients were retirement-focused investors; David's were high-net-worth homebuyers. They needed a unified approach that served both audiences.

Jennifer focused on IRA rollovers and retirement portfolio diversification, using her fiduciary background to position gold as a strategic allocation. David introduced physical gold and silver purchases to his real estate clients as a tangible asset complement to property investments. They split responsibilities — Jennifer handled consultations, David managed relationship-building and referrals.

Within 8 months, their combined monthly commission exceeded $85,000. Jennifer's average ticket size is $92,000 (primarily IRA rollovers), while David averages $35,000 per transaction in physical bullion. Together, they've built a self-sustaining practice that now generates more income than either of their previous careers.

After 20 years of distinguished service in the U.S. Army, Robert retired as a Master Sergeant and was looking for a second career that matched his values — integrity, discipline, and service. He had no sales experience but possessed a strong network of fellow veterans and military families who were concerned about protecting their retirement savings.

Robert had never worked in sales or financial services. He needed a program that would provide comprehensive training from the ground up, without requiring licenses or certifications. He also wanted to serve the military community specifically, helping fellow veterans protect their TSP and retirement assets.

Robert leaned into what he knew best — building trust through service. He started by hosting informal educational sessions at his local VFW post, sharing ASG's market research materials on gold as a hedge against inflation. His authentic, no-pressure approach resonated with fellow veterans. ASG's compliance team helped him navigate TSP-to-IRA rollover conversations.

In just 10 months, Robert has built a $600K annual practice focused almost exclusively on the military community. His client retention rate is 97%, and he receives an average of 4 warm referrals per month from satisfied clients. He's now mentoring two other veterans who've joined the ASG program.
