I know this is a silly question...but bear with me.
Ive been self employed for the past few years. Mostly via online ventures.
Long story short...I hit a financial plateau and simultaneously began to become fascinated with person to person sales (Prospecting, negotiation, closing, etc...).
So I dumped everything and began looking into different paths into a sales career.
Insurance has caught my eye.
Ive yet to take the P&C test (im not worried about that).
Independent seems the way to go, but im just curious as to how I get into a indie agency.
Im in Chicago, and have noticed a ton of captive agencies are looking for agents/producers. but none of the indie's are on the typical job sites.
Should I go around to different independent agencies and introduce myself?
Im just trying to tie all this up in my head before I fully jump in and immerse myself in the insurance world.
Thanks
