how can i get into the business of selling insurance?

Answer 1

Become and insurance adjuster or insurance agent. You need a 4 year degree

Answer 2

Well, the first thing is to complete the 40 hr class and pass the test required by the state. You can either take Property and Causualty or Life and Health. Depends on what side of the industry you want to get into. Some may apply for a job as a underwriter to learn the business from the inside while others become agents/brokers. There really isn't a salary for these new positions. You always have to validate or trigger your contract by selling a certain amount. However, as a new agent in the field you gain higher commissions then others who have been in the feild for a while. Be careful of the "throw spagetti against the wall and see who sticks" trick. Companies will hire 20 people, you write your friends and family but nothing after, so you are "let go" and they keep your business. Well good luck!!! Find a company that offers good training and a mutual company like NYLife, Guardian, Mass Mutual, or NWMutual.
I hope this helps

The first step is to study for and pass the state insurance licensing exam in your state. This license is required in order to solicit insurance sales.

Next decide if you want to be independent or work as a career agent for an established company. If you starting out in the business I would recommend talking to a company that offers a career agent contract. That means you work only for that company.

A career agent contract will give you the training and support you need to learn the insurance business. At some point you may decide to work independently but starting out it helps to have the support.

New York Life, John Hancock, Western Southern and Monumental are a few companies that offer career contracts.

Answer 4

Answer 5

That really depends on what your goal is. What type of insurance do you want to sell (Whole life, term, LTC, etc)? Just insurance or financial products as well? What type of clientele are you looking to help? Do you want to do it short-term, as a full career, or build a business out of it?

Answer 6

ANY Insurance company is happy to hire and train a well groomed inteligent person. They will help you through the requirements for licensing.

Answer 8

you may want to contact a company to see if they can use you.
They will get you set up with classes that you will have to take and pay for on your own.
You can look it up on-line to see where classes are at in your area.
It is best to have a company ready to take you on after you have taken the test though
My husband just got his insurence license and he didnt need a 4 year degree.

Answer 9

Don't do it,it is so hard to make a living in this business.Two out of every three people that enter this busines leave in the first 36 months.

Answer 10

Avoid it at all costs unless you have tons of money lying around for the year or so it's going to take you to build clients and renewals. Otherwise, you'll be very, very broke. Good luck.
