re: Insurance sales? Good bad or okay career?

Questions for you to answer:

Do you know a lot of people who you think you could sell insurance products to? Individuals or business owners. Do you think they like you and trust you - all the people you know - so that they would want to buy from you. Do you ant to sell to them?

Do you like selling? Do you like prospecting, going out trying to sell a product, probably cold calling some.

Do you believe in insurance? Do you own some yourself? Do you think it is something everyone should have?

I have a buddy that pretty much answers no to all of those and has been doing it for 5 years off and on (along with other things) and doesn't make but about $5k a year and is broke.

I would say 95% of people that sell insurance do not make a good living.

If you are one of the few that can do it though, it is an easy life as most of your money is made from residuals eventually that you earned years ago.

Sure. It never hurts to talks to more people in the business, but they will probably tell you the same thing.

It really is a Rewarding career. You reay help the people in your community, and help get them through some of the toughest times in their lives. You get a lot of flexibility as far as your schedule is concerned and each day is different.

The downside is you are working commissions more than likely, and that can be really hard. It is easy to get burned out in as well, and you will lose all your friends (not really, they will just stop answering your calls because they figure you are calling about work )
