Jan 2016 I recieved my P&C license, a few months later I went back to get my 215 and also passed that exam. I am now have my 220 and also my 215 license. After recieveing my license I got a job at Direct Auto. It wasnt the best job but I figured I could at least get my feet wet. After a few months of working for a Direct Auto, I was introduced to a young man that owned an insurance agency. I was told that he would train me and would teach me everything thing that I needed to know to become a great agent. I was so estatic to learn the industry that I did what most dumb folks to, jump at the opportunity. None of this happened he did not train me on anything other then downloading all the software I needed to use on my computer. No real training occured, also learned that he used other companies to write commercial and his homeowners policies that we would be using a 3rd party company. His reason was that he was to busy to write policies so another company would handle it for him, all we would have to do is submit the homeowners information with the 3rd party and they would do take care of everything else. It has been a nightmare, I have not been able to find a job because I have no experience and most agency dont want someone that has no experience.
I have been in sales all my life so selling isnt a promblem for me it was learning the industry and learning the things I needed to know as a new agent. Any advise? I am thinking of giving up this career and going into the medical field seems as if I can't get a break. No negative comments please!!!
