Hello everyone I am new to the forum. I just passed my NYS exam for Life/Health/Accident and am now looking for some advice on how to break into the business. What is the best way? Should I go work for an agency or just sell independently? Is it tough getting appointed if you do not have experience or do you get appointed by just having E & O insurance? I want to focus on Life insurance for starters, so my thinking was to pick 5-6 carriers and just focus on selling their products. The policies seem pretty straight forward and it's just a matter of finding the right policy that fits best for the clients needs and one they can afford. Again, I literally just passed my exam a few days ago. How far away from reality am I (lol)? What are the benefits of going to work in an agency/brokerage? What do they teach you? Do they teach you? I'm under the assumption that they give you a bunch of leads and make you cold call all day. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance! -James
