I am in the South and looking to start a career in insurance. Over 15 years in sales of all sorts but new to this game. Doing it because of a desire to build my own business and Real Estate is horrific right now (been down that road and did well till market busted). Also even though I make pretty good money in my current career I don't have a passion for it. I see insurance as a way to help others and that is what I want to do.
Understanding that money is hard to get early I am trying to do this correctly. Most likely starting with Colonial and I will be non captive. Broker has great training and support. I need $1200 a month to survive and am working on limited funds so I need some quick money to stay on my feet as I build a book. Keep in mind I am also working another job to pay most of the bills for now so even if I make 500-1000 a month the first few months I can survive. Questions are what other products should I consider selling as well as Colonial. I am thinking I should also take on individuals because I find that is a easier group to market to for me until I train more with groups. I want to be full time in insurance only as soon as possible so that is the goal here. I think customer service is near dead these days so I really want to learn the products and treat my clients well and help them profit with their business.
I have read a ton on these forums the last few days and want to learn so thanks for any of your advice in advance.
P.S. I am not afraid to cold call and will try any other type of marketing you guys could suggest.
