Hi Everyone,
I'm currently a state farm teammember for over 4 years in NY and I would like to start my own state farm agency. So I spoke with my state farm agent and he told me I still need improvement on life insurance and commercial insurance productions because I'm not producing BIG policies. He said when applying to become an agent the back office will need to see I have strong sales skills on life insurance. He want me to be consistent on producing more big cash value life insurance and learn couple years more before apply for agent position in order to become successful. My question is this necessary? I think I learned a lot for the past years from this agency and I'm ready for it , maybe he does'nt want to let me go? Or he doesn't want me to be decline by back office and lose money?
My second choice is starting my own insurance brokerage, I think this way is easier to get start but might be difficult to stay in business for long because I dont really have a lot of broker experience and dont really know what to expect.
Please kindly share your thoughts , really appreciate your comments!
