Ok I could really use your help with this...
Here is my situation, I currently am a captive agent working for company X that I can only sell to my assigned territory which which have to become members of a private organization which is about 800-1000 people in total some currently have insurance with this company and some don't. I am allowed to sell only Life, LTC, DI, and fixed annuities with this one company and no other companies.
The company really only wants my life business and all my quotas are based upon life only sales on my territory which I need to achieve 100 life apps per year. I have found that many of the people will not pick up the phone or not call back even if they have insurance with this company which really restricts my opportunity for life sales because they have been call numerous times over the years and sold from many different agents.
I have recently interviewed with Mass and it seems to be a lateral move without my call list and I would have to go out and find new people to meet with and they hard push on the series 6 which I am not a fan of getting. I am starting to think possibly going into the P&C business may be a good idea since people need that insurance and may give me more of an opportunity while continuing to sell Life/health on the back end once I get the appointment. Do you think I should stay where I am?
Just throwing it out there to see what everyone thinks since I am really uncertain and do not want to make the wrong choice. Also I need somewhere that will offer health benefits.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
