Journey into the Abyss, Prelude

I am a new insurance agent just starting out and I would like to document my first year.
The reason being,
  1. Get some couching from other more experienced veterans on here to give me some pointers, suggestions and a way to avoid some of the problems that seem to cripple new agents.
  2. I really like journey threads and this forum does not have any.(if you know of one please post a link)
  3. I think this will be a valuable resource of what to expect your first year, (this could also become a inspirational story or a cautionary tale)
  4. I think this is a good way to get my post count up and get to know some of the other agents on here.
My posts will be about my activities and plans for this 2013 year. I want to include my Goals, Plans, day to day activities and questions I have.

Please subscribe to the thread if you would like to follow along. The actual thread is located in Getting started insurance forum thread title Journey into the abyss.

I am a new agent I got my license in 10/2012 for L&H and P&C for WA and OR. I have been working mostly as a CSR for another agent.

I am targeting the construction industry; General Contractors and Specialty trades products include: GL, Commercial Auto, Building and Income, tools policies, and bonds.

The reasons for targeting this market are: agent I work under has experience in this industry, there are tons of them around and I can easily find out when their GL policy expires.
