"i've found it really just comes down to working hard and having the right products ... and knowing your product ...you can become an expert on FE in like a week ... "

I quite agree, you have to know your products and know it well, then you can focus marketing that product.Well said.

But if you are inquiring, and you or someone you know or someone who is reading this is new, it helped me to focus on one product and sell it and it only .... this makes it so you don't need a whole lot of training ... i was trained for a day and half and from there I was on my own ... I did FE and it's so freaking simple that anyone can do it if they are willing to work hard ... I go out for 14 hours a day ... I work it and even though I was new, I have sold over 200 policies in six months.

There is no trick to it.

I've found it really just comes down to working hard and having the right products ... and knowing your product ...you can become an expert on FE in like a week ...

There are many guys on here who can give you the right product ... right? Anyone?

"200 policies in six months". what is the income? thanks.

A MLM insurance company. I would suggest looking on here and finding products you can sell with out having to recruit your friends in to a MLM.

I totally agree, I have been down that road before (not with insurance products). I do however want to work as much from home as possible. Which products tend to sell better/easier over the phone/internet?

In my opinion for P&C it's not a bad idea to go captive but you have to make sure you get the right set up. YOU CAN NOT make enough money to live off going with Farmers, unless you have another job. Their commissions are nothing special and in P&C you have to producer TONS of policies to see any real commission.

Allstate has a decent program. Depending on where you live there are some tough requirements to get with them (great credit, good amount of capital in the bank, etc..) They typically front end load commissions where you don't have to produce as much business initially and still make decent money. They also pay you to go do training.

State Farm is the best out the carriers to get appointed with. However they don't just throw up a State Farm office anywhere and typically you get into a pool and when an area comes available they'll ask if you want to relocate.

P&C is a tough market and my opinion is unless you have something else to generate you income I would look at a different career or start by selling some health and life as well as P&C.
