Okay, I can sort of answer from experience. My husband is a very good sales person and he was an insurance person for a time. You have to be very determined and able to work well on your own. You need to have the drive to work while no one is watching you. You should recieve good training from the company you work for and have a "mentor". This helps you because you will learn from them and eventually be able to go out on your own. It can be hard because you will have to face rejection and learn to, in my phrase, "upsale". This means when someone wants one thing you will need to suggest more. If you decide to try this job out I hope you do well.

it is a good job. better yet if you can do businesses only. that's where you offer your insurance product to the business owners or maybe even a board. they in turn (if accepted) offer it to thier employees as a benefits package. good money, work when you want as an independent agent. door-to-door and making phone calls isn't really self gratifying.
