So expect a low base pay like 13-20 an hour but possibly good commission?
I seriously doubt any of the big insurance companies give you $15+/hr as an entry level rep.

Insurance sales seems to be one of those fields where there's a really high turnover rate because the pay isn't great and there's so much competition. I've had a handful of friends go that route and quit within a year. It really depends on your own personal drive and dedication during the lean months

I like to think I am very personable and a people person but I understand that is only a small part of it
Maybe try to find a more niche sales position? There's so many insurance companies and reps to compete with that finding a more specific product with less competition may be a better route, assuming those opportunities are out there.
