Hello,
Let me first start by saying that this is the BEST WEBSITE I have found to be of use when you are starting out. After reading through the many threads for several days, I decided to just go for it and register.
I was in the Medical field for almost 20 yrs when I decided to make a career change. I know how a Health insurance policy works from benefits to payment of claim, so I was thinking Life and Health ins Sales would be an easy move for me. So I got my General Lines LIFE, HEALTH, ACCIDENT & HMO license.
I was offered a position with a new State Farm agent as his Life and Health specialist, but would need to now also get my P&C license. Done now I have both my LIFE and HEALTH and P&C. The agency opened up on April 1st.
To date I have not sold one Life policy, other than my own.... And last month was the first time I was paid any of my commissions, as I finally met the "Bonus and Commission" quota.
I took his offer as I am new to the industry and don't know anything about being on my own, plus when you earn a salary for 20+ yrs commission only can be scary!
We had a difference of opinion, meaning I was not or am not a team player, and we decided that maybe his agency is not the best fit for me.
So here I am back at square 1. I applied to several different companies on Ziprecruiter and now I am getting job offers left and right from IMO's, FMO's ect.....
I am pretty good about researching a company and looking at the employee reviews however I am just as confused now as I was almost a yr ago when I got my license.
Any advice would be appreciated!!!!
Thank you
