Hello All,
This is my first post and please redirect me if i should be in the "New Agent" section. The information contained in this site is nothing short of gold so I hope I can find some quality advice.
I've been selling for awhile, always inside sales. It seems like this is a transactional based sales, while I've done well I want to get into more relationship based sales.
While I am young I'd like to focus on a career path and working on Employee Benefits sounds very interesting. My goal would to become an expert in group health, life, disability and later 401K retirement type planning.
Most brokerages are looking for experience. One has to start somewhere though, what kind of positions would an entry level person with 1 or 2 years sales experience qualify for? I am already licensed for California life/health but beyond the class instruction I don't have specific product knowledge.
I'm fine with cutting my teeth making cold calls to establish a client base but want the support staff and advice that comes with employment at an independent brokerage.
I live in the San Francisco bay area, any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you
