What are some of the trade magazines, organizations and memberships that one should consider when starting out in insurance ?

I.e. Must Read Rags ?
I.e. Must belong to orgs ?

I think belonging to the Libertarian Party is the first organization to join.

On magazines get all the free ones but do not read them during working hours unless it is in the bathroom or in the car while waiting. These are the three I like best and there are others.

Broker World is a good magazine with a very cheap subscription rate. You can read A.M. Best at your local library for free.

I second that.

If Chumps doesn't have it, it isn't worth having. After joining I have been selling over 300 Med Supps per week. Or is it 400?

umm, Ron Paul ran as a Libertarain in '88. He even called Regan a failure during the campaign.

Go to NAIFA just google it, it is probably the only resource you'll need in regards to developing you sales skills and it is the only national organization that caters to insurance and financial professionals. If you're new focus on the YAT info.

NAIFA, NALU, etc. are a waste of time - and money.

You can disagree all you want.

The fact is these "house organs" are bought and paid for the the big carriers - for the sole purpose of advancing their agenda.

In addition, most of the members in most chapters are group reps, etc. - looking to sell you something.

If your idea of fun is having lunch once a month with a bunch of insurancepersons...God bless ya.

Are you fat, bald and middle-age by any chance?

Man, you must be awfully naive.

If you think NAIFA is watching out for agents, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to talk to you about.

NIAFA is watching out for the insurance companies who pay the majority of their bills.

They would sell you out in a hot minute.

Does a hot minute include foreplay?

Of course not. That's why it's a hot minute.

You should always use my disclaimer: "Honey, this isn't going to last long, but it's gonna be real intense while it does."
