Hello everyone.
I obtained my life insurance license about two months ago and have yet to put it to work. I have managed my own business in the past and have worked in sales for over 3 years. I am not afraid to get after it and feel life insurance is something I would thrive in.
I was going to start working for an over the phone only company as an “independent agent”. The schedule was to be a fixed 9 hour schedule that you have to agree to and after reading the paperwork if I were to decide to leave I would not be able to sell for the specific carriers they carry for over 2 years. At first glance I thought it wouldn’t be bad since I understand I would have to make a sacrifice to dip my toes in the water.
However, after thinking it over I decided it was not for me since I work better without supervision and having a flexible schedule is a big thing for me.
I have been looking and have contacted recruiters working with FFL. They mentioned how successful their guys are and speak highly of their top producers bringing in 20-50k monthly. They also mentioned you have to work hard and be a go getter in order to succeed. I have no problem with any of that and told them that I am confident I can surpass anyone of their top producers since I am very disciplined and competitive when I start something new.
I have done recruiting and aggressive selling in some of my past sales jobs (car sales, jewelry sales, pawn shop sales, cell phone sales, furniture/mattress sales) and not afraid of objections.
After joining this forum I have read about others experiences with FFL and I am now doubting if this is the right place for me to start. I am just having second thoughts on a business that seems to want you to recruit, recruit, and buy leads.
I do not mind doing either but want to know about the experiences of others in different companies that would be newbie friendly.
Thank you all in advance!
