Hi everyone!! Just wanted to do a quick intro, I have been lurking for a little while and finally decided to register lol. Anyway, just to tell a little more about myself, I am in Wilmington, NC and currently hold my Life, Health/Accident and Personal Lines Licenses. Problem is, I have had these licenses since July of 2008, and just can't seem to find a good fit for me.
My first appointment was with Aflac---that lasted all but a month, never sold anything, just had a 3 day "training" and then after that they threw me to the wolves with the yellow pages to cold call and a minimum of 20 door knockings a day, as well as wanting me to try to sell to family and friends.
Next was an internet based/call center agency (homeinsurance.com) where we actually had pretty decent leads coming in, I sold home and auto with Traveler's. This was ok until they really started pushing us to sell home and auto packages, but somehow it seemed every lead coming in, the person lived in an apartment or mobile home. Nothing wrong with that, but we were unable to write renters policies, etc.
So, that brings me to the present. I decided I want to try to sell Health, Life and Personal Lines if possible, and do this face to face, at home via phone and internet....it really doesnt matter. I am supposed to start training with Liberty National/UA next week, but have heard bad things about them, so Im not too sure.
Basically---all I want is a good reputable company to work for, with no or minimal door knocking and selling to friends and family involved and that wont try to "recruit" me into management after 3 months of supposedly making 100k or more? Sorry this was long winded, just frustrated and trying to figure out where to go from here. Thanks!
