i am interested in becoming a life insurance agent. i have spent years in sales and i truly believe in the product. i manage two funeral homes in philadelphia and relate to the value of insurance and i love the idea of marrying the two industries to create a revenue stream.
i have been a part of a fraternal society selling final expense insurance, but im interested in taking the life exam in PA. some questions...
is there just an exam for "Life" in pa? or is the exam combined with anything else (Health/Accidental?). all i am interested in is selling Life and only Life policies.
are the following steps accurate...study online through one of the many online study sites, complete the pre license requirements, sign up for the state exam, get at least a 70 to pass then contact a company that is hiring?
once i have my life insurance license, i can write for one or several companies correct? are you usually contractually obligated to write for one and only one company?
if you do sign with a company, do they supply leads and leave the selling to you?
im not a greedy individual. i have simple needs. im not predatory. but i understand the revenue stream from insurance sales can be impressive. as a rule of thumb, insurance agents commissions are usually a percentage of the first years premium? and then a percentage of the following years?
thank you
