Hidden Gems: Meet Paris Cain of Divine Direction

Today we’d like to introduce you to Paris Cain

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Hey, my name is Paris! I was born and raised in Lincoln NE and I moved to Arizona 2 years ago. Growing up I always knew I would do something with my life to ensure my future family was taken care of financially such as becoming a lawyer or real estate I thought, life insurance was not exactly what I had dreamed of when I was a kid. Fast forward to now , I’m 22 years old and 3 1/2 years into the insurance industry and wouldn’t change a thing. Sure this industry pays well and gives you an opportunity to grow a massive business but on top of that I’ve met some of the best mentors and friends I think a young woman could ask for in this industry. In the past 6 months I have gotten sober, went from $0 in savings to 5 figures in savings and achieved my dream body. For everything I thank God but while I’m here on earth I hope to help others have a similar “bounce back” story of their own to tell.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
In this industry there are a multitude of obstacles. In the business DIRECTLY the first thing I would say contributes to only 15% of people making it to their anniversary is chargebacks. Chargebacks are when the client cancels a policy before the company has obtained the 9 or 12 month advance they give you. (EX : Client pays $100 a month, $1200 over the year. The company advances you 9 months, $900. The client then cancels after 6 months, you now owe the company $300 for the 3 months they advanced you but did not collect.) Unfortunately most people make a few dollars , spend it all , get a chargeback and have problems paying everyday bills while outwitting chargebacks, leading to needing to find a more stable income. That leads to the next thing most struggle with, which is our career being 100% commission. As most know 100% commission means you eat what you kill and some find that lifestyle too stressful. On the more personal side, I have struggled with addiction but again with the help of God and great mentors I have been able to overcome and be in the position I am today.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
I define success as being one with god, being happy, healthy and well taken care of in all aspects.
