Okay, I work for an insurance company, so I kind of know what I'm talking about. I'm not an agent, so I don't make the dough. But I work for 6 agents, so I know how it works. First of all, you only make the good money selling life insurance. And by the way, the turnover doesn't matter.....you are independent. You work for the company, but they don't pay you. The policies you sell is where you get your money. Agents quit because they're not good salesmen and can't sell the life insurance to make the money. Some of the agents with our company are now bringing home $120 k a year. And no, I am not joking. But those two have worked here for 30+ years. The newer ones, who have been here 2-7 years, aren't making near that. But they're doing okay. You have to really want to do it, and really have your heart in it. And you have to be a salesman. How good you are will determine what you make. |

Look for a well known multi-line company like Allstate or State Farm. Get licensed in Property/Casualty, Life/Health and Securities. |

It is a sales job, just like anything you sell if you have a good product you believe in and have enough contacts you will do well. The money is in the life insurance and financial services end of it (that's the gravy) but the personal lines (auto, home, and business insurance) are the meat and potatoes. You can build a great agency if you have a great product. So definitely check out the companies you plan to represent, along with the product lines they have to offer. Its not an easy way to go by no means, but can be quite rewarding. |

I started with MetLife 15 years ago and have been in the financial services industry ever since. Yes, there is a lot of turnover. They will basically hire anyone who agrees, and see who sticks. You can definitely make the money if you work hard and understand it is a numbers game. The more people you contact, the more you sell and earn. I am now a wholesaler offering Principal 401(k) plans to Advisors and their clients.
My advice, there are better sales jobs than insurance. I would contact a payroll company like ADP or Paychex. They have great training, and will start you out with a base of 35ish, and commission on top of that. |

From experience, I can tell you that the best way to enter the industry is to be sure that you get licensed in Property & Casualty Insurance because that is surely where the dollars are. Second tidbit: The 3 companies that offer best opportunities to earn decent salaries are State Farm, Allstate, and Nationwide if you choose to be hired by a "direct writing" company.
It takes at least 3-5 years of long hours to start seeing nice pay checks. Eventually, the bulk of your income will come from renewal commissions so it is important to service your clients WELL and always ask for referrals. |

Yes. I am a single mother who got into selling insurance 5 years ago. The first year was very tough. Auto/Homeowners, etc. not the best. You don't make a lot unless you run your own office. I work for a great company and my second year made between 55K and 95K for the last 4 years. I sell long Term Care, Annuities, Medicare Supplements, and a little Life Insurance. Get with a good company that has a long history of customer service and company provided leads. Contact me, I'll let you know who I work for. |
