Hey everyone,
I am new to this forum just as I am new to the insurance industry. I just graduated from a four-year university with a Bachelor's in General Studies. I had an emphasis in Business and International Studies and a minor in Management. Now that I have returned home, I am looking everywhere to start my career. I have been thinking about the insurance industry because it seems like a stable job where you can eventually determine the amount of money you make yourself.
However, I have no idea what the best route is in which to start. I have read all about how life insurance is for the aggressive sellers and P & C is for the less aggressive ones. I do not have experience selling, but I am a great communicator and people like to listen to me, so I think I can excel in this area.
So I guess my question is, what is the best way to start a long insurance career. I have a meeting with an agent that I know personally to ask these same types of questions. She also said she could give me the names of some agents who might be looking for employment. I want to hear some opinions on what you all think is the best way to start out before I go in there.
Thanks
