these days.That's why at Sigma we've created a "no-nonsense" website that gets
you the information your looking for when you need it.Sales Tracking, Account Transfer lookups, Commissions Statements,
and Email and so much more are all easily accessible from the main
page of the Sigma website.

wherever you are in the world...all you need is a computer with Internet
access and the ability to get to the
Sigma Financial website.You can check

Sales Tracking allows you to view direct sales you have placed with the
main office and allows you to track by shipping number who has signed for
the sales at the respective fund companies.This helps you keep better track of what has been submitted and
paid and what has not.
Sales Fax Submission is a system we have developed here at Sigma that
allows reps to submit direct business with the main office via a fax
machine and Sigma Coversheet.
All sales submitted by 4pm are reviewed and reps receive notification of
approval or rejection that day to allow for speedy processing.Once approved reps can then send sales directly to the fund company
thereby eliminating mailing time to the Sigma main office.
