Expected base salary?

[Serenity]

any thoughts on what a typical commission should be for a new person in a p/c agency?

I say 10 percent of the agents commission for auto and 25 for homeowners. I need to say, I'm not as impressed with P&C as I am with life. The commissions are nicer!

I wish I had SME's contract savvy when I first started.

All I can say about this is:

be careful what you sign....., read everything & make a copy,........don't sign anything with a blank signature (at least get the name of the person that is supposed to sign,) and make sure all counter signatures are printed legibly along with their contact info (you will eventually want to know who it is that you will need to get a release of contract from).

thanks Retread...very good advice. I interviewed with this agent this past Weds, and will follow up this week to see if I am in the running. Thanks everyone for your kind help!
