I am currently working as an agent for AIL.
I understand a lot of people have had trouble with this company, I so far have not.
I have produced just under $30k in annualized premiums since mid April.
I do love what this industry has to offer and the freedoms it can provide, but still being new to this space I am overwhelmed with options.
I've had IMO's and other companies trying to recruit me on a weekly basis, all of them basically say the same thing promising to make me rich and trying to convince me that I'm being ripped off at AIL.
I would personally greatly appreciate it if some veterans in this space would take the time to offer some insight here. Before I sink too much time with one particular outfit, what is the best way to build a career in this industry? Furthermore, what is the best way to build something that will resemble my own business and give me the freedom to pick and choose from truly good products from my clients and make a fair commission?
As a new agent looking behind the curtain of this industry, going 100% independent seems like something that is gatekept and safeguarded by those with the cheat codes. Working for a provider like Globe, StateFarm, Allstate, etc. seems to be regarded as a ripoff for agents. Working for an IMO like FFL (who is very adamant about pulling me away from AIL) seems downright too good to be true from their pitch.
If I go the independent route, would it be best to secure my own contracts directly with select providers? Or is it better to work through a pre established IMO?
What is an honest way to make a fair living in this space without being a hustler grindset social media influencer?
Thank you.
