Best way to start P&C Career

[adjusterjack]

At the risk of being blasphemous, you don't have to sell insurance to have a successful career in the insurance industry. I started in sales and couldn't make a go of it. I was that guy who couldn't sell a life jacket to a drowning man. LOL (I was looking for the opposite of the guy who could sell ice to eskimos and that was the best I could come up with.)

I ended up in the company end of the business, finally in claims. I didn't get rich but I made a good living and was able to retire at 60 with a mortgage free house and plenty of money in the bank.

There are alternatives.

I have access to every major carrier and many regional carriers. You may be in an area where there isn't much competition but in my area, South West, Georgia, it is very, very competitive.

You will need to partner with someone or go to work for a captive or independent agent. If you have no experience, no book of business, you will not be contracted with anyone
