I have been considering insurance sales for several months. At first, I was looking into starting my own agency, but reality hit me... I need some training, having not worked in insurance sales before and my financial situation isn't secure enough to be starting my own business.
I have talked to a few captive agents, they keep telling me I could do really well. I have a client list from my father's business and it appears to be a good starting point. I have connections in the real estate community. My concern is, I am a single mother, working paycheck to paycheck pretty much. The base pay for a producer is not enough to cover my bills. I am confident that I can make sales, I have no problem getting out in front of the customer, I get that it's a numbers game.
My question is, I'll get between $10- $12/ per hour for a base pay, how long does it take the average producer to get to and average pay of $17 per hour? I plan on being above average, but that's what I need so I can support my household.
