Hello,
I'm looking to change career paths into insurance and I need advice. I have worked in sales since graduating from college in 2005. I have done all B2B sales, I have started a company, and now I'm back into sales and marketing. I need advice on a few things that I'm struggling with.
1. Going Captive, vs. Independent- Pros and Cons? Training, which one is better? I have looked at Federated, State Farm, FB ect. and some local independents (I'm in Michigan)
2. What is the best way to grow knowledge? I want to have the knowledge now, the $$$ will grow the faster my knowledge does. Will a captive position provide better knowledge out of the gates?
3.Can anyone recommend companies that have outstanding training, and career advancement Opportunity's? (I have some knowledge of the insurance industry through work for a restoration company and working with agents and claims reps)
4. What would be the best lines to focusing on first? Health, Life, P&C, etc. ?
Thanks for the advice,
Craigndem
