I've been reading here for about a week trying to see what's going on in the insurance business these days. To see if maybe there's somewhere I can fit in. This would be my first post here. I guess this could go in the introductions section but it's more a question than an intro.
My mother worked for AAA insurance for 28 years in many different different departments. A life long friend of the family is a former STAR with State Farm from way back in the day. I believe he started in 1964. I think he finally
retired within the last ten years. I was reading his bio online last night and was amazed.
I've owned an auto paint repair franchise for seven years. It's steady but I'm ready to move on. I'm 44 and looking for a new career. I'm very seriously considering insurance. I picked up my books today.
Is anyone familiar with how AAA pays their insurance salesman? I believe they are a solid company and worth looking into. I'm in North Carolina and seeing more and more of them. I've been here 16 years but grew up in CA where I believe AAA started.
I would prefer to be an independent agent from the get go but I am guessing this is not likely. Unless there's another way to be your own boss in this business, this would be my ultimate goal. If a company like AAA is willing to fairly compensate their salesman than it would be something to consider.
I was very sad to read the thread about State Farm and the contract with their agents. We've already got SIX State Farm agents in my immediate area. It sounds like State Farm needs to get back to making their agents the HEROs they used to be. I would love to be a State Farm agent but seeing the way they are stacked up in areas makes it very undesirable to me.
Feel free to give free advice . I'm guessing I should go work for someone else to get started and just wondering if the captive agents get paid as much as you independent super stars. AAA in particular.
Pleasure to be here.
