I work for a brokerage in the Tampa, FL area doing telephone sales. It's not a bad job and honestly I make a OK living at it (approx 35 - 40K) I've done telephone sales and CSR work most of my life in one form or another.
I'm going to be 50 in April and am not where I want to be looking down the road. That's a long story and something I'm not going to get into.
Anyhow, I have been there for about a year. What I don't like is that they seem to bounce me about from dept to dept as needed and I learn one product well then am bounced to another team. It does allow me a lot of experience with different companies (currently I can write 15+ major Life and Health carrier's).
The job can be a bit unstable but I would like to stay at least another year for the experience of selling insurance. I know that instability is part of selling insurance, but here's my question.
If I leave my company who would you recommend going with (local agency in the Tampa area)? Being in Florida, I think it's best that I concentrate on FE products with some LTC mixed in. Medicare supplements of course and I would consider getting training in MA product's if it would help.
I would not mind "getting my feet" wet with a company if I could work weekends for now but I would have to write with companies other than who I'm appointed with now.
This sound like a plan or am I making an error somewhere?
