I am looking toward the future and considering what steps I should take as I move away from the agency I work for and toward an agency of my own. I am in no hurry, but I do like to have a plan.
I really am not a strong producer, but I really enjoy the continual service aspects of P&C, and I'm handling much of that for the agency I work for which is rather busy.
I don't really have grand aspirations, or expect a lot at first. I know a lot of you recommend niche markets, but I'm not sure how to do that within P&C.
EDIT Some of my strengths and skills are:
-Strong computer/web design/social media skills
-Talent for talking on the phone
-5 years as a pro fiction and non-fiction writer
Here's my wish list:
-A move away from the big city into more rural areas
-A flexible office at first, or financial support for office if captive
-At least one CSR within two years
-A stable income within 5 years (ok with not personally making 6 figures, just want something consistent and doable)
And some questions:
1. Should I start with a niche market and branch out?
2. What kinds of niche markets exist in P&C that are not obvious?
3. Are there some captive companies with good reputations that might be a better fit than going independent?
