How easy or difficult is it to sell accounts?

[LostDollar]

I run a really small insurance agency selling p&c. I do not have many accounts right now and I actually shy away from generating too much business right now for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is because I don't feel fully committed and not sure if I really want to do this long term. But I also need to earn a living right now so I am wondering if I were to sell a ton of insurance over the next year and don't want to deal with servicing or hiring someone to service if i could easily sell them.

Caveat, not an agent.

Sounds to me like you should consider working for someone else that can support the overhead of servicing business and provide long term agency stability for the customers.

First, if you're not really into it... I believe it will affect your ability to get what you say you want.
- If you're into it... you're passionate.
- If you're not... it's stress.

Second, SuccessionLink can help you to sell your book of business... depending on whom you are selling for. There are other places that will help you sell your book, but I'd start there.

So first you label me a railroad in your monopoly board insurance metaphor video and now I'm a geek.

Thanks, David. I thought we were on good terms.

Such a THIN SKIN! LOL!

At least we're PAID to be geeks! Will Farrell... well, it just proved that he must've had a license at one time. (Just did a search - maybe not.)

I'd rather have Will Ferrell's bank account than mine though...
