Hello,
Recently I finished course work for Fl.2-20 and take state next week. My plan for the first year in insurance is to sell solely to convenience stores. I have already built relationships with these accounts. "I was a cigarette sales rep for 15 years." Out of 250 to 300 mom and pops I believe 25 to 50 would give my a shot right off the bat. Others, would follow after proving competency.
By just concentrating on C-stores at first will give me a chance to focusing on mastering this class of business. Relationships and trust has are already been built. Most of these guys are hard to deal with on all levels until you put in the time and effort. In my case this work has already been done.
My question is this a viable plan? Do I need experience before diving in head first. Also, are convenient stores good accounts. What is an average premium for a gas station if they own the tanks building and the business vs. leased stores with non owned tanks ect. Just a general brake down.
Soon after getting licensed, I plan on emailing these guys to get a copy of their existing policies and finding out the company's writing them. Hopefully, convincing a company to contract with?
Im looking to learn from someone that has already been down this path rather than to trail my own.
Im open to any insight on road blocks or problem I might run into. To me it looks like a small gold mind, but I need someone to give me any heads up. I'm not afraid to sacrifice and effort nor ambition is a factor.
Always promise to pay it forward
Thank you
Tim
