So I'm coming from the life and health side looking to enter P&C. Got my license easy enough. However now I'm sitting on it with no appointments. getting with other independent agencies is near impossible and wouldn't allow me to stay truly independent on the life side. So naturally me being tired of shackels on my ankles decide to take the hard route and strike it on my own. I know it's not going to be easy. But better than depending on idiots that can't return my calls to process business for me.
Anyhow, Now I'm stuck trying to get carrier appointments. I know full well it's nearly impossible without a network, so that's the route I go.
Smart choice has virtually no carriers in michigan so that's out.
Michigan agency Partners through SIAA aren't appointing agents and only work with mass mutual.. In other words they told me to screw off unless I want the *** who won't return my phone calls processing my business for a chunk my my commission.
So now I'm in the process of contacting iriquoi group. I fell however that if this doesn't work out I'm screwed. How the hell do you get off the ground if you can't get appointed and clusters are acting like monopolies by making agreements with other companies to keep people out of the market?
So yeah this is my little rant, but I need some help here. I've got my license, domain name, software, LCC coming in, and still trying to get some darn appointments.
