I interviewed with them today and they are offering me a captive contract to sell senior market products.
I did a search of the threads/posts and could not find any current info.... current meaning within the last 12 to 18 months.
I am new to the industry and this would be my first insurance sales position. I specifically want to sell MedSupps and related products, so this offer is in the market I want to sell in.
They seem to have a solid sales & product training plan. The commission schedule seems alright, but I really don't know how to evaluate how it compares to other captive situations similar to this. The incentives, bonuses, etc., seem realistically achievable. They supply leads.
I realize that being independent would - in the long term - give me the opportunity to make more money assuming I do what it takes to be successful. But I need to learn the market, prospecting and sales techniques - skills I do not yet have - and I think American Republic would help me with that.
Also, AR has partnered with Coventry and UHC for some of the medicare products, so an agent would have other products to offer in addition to AR's lineup.
If anyone has recent/current experience with this company I would appreciate to know what you think.
Thanks
