I'm currently a reserve agent with Farmers Insurance with minimal success after more than 6 months. Its a combination of virtually no sales training and little support from management. On top of that it has been a financial struggle due to medical bills from my mother being diagnosed with serious illness and no health insurance. I'm concluding that Farmers may not be the right place for me.
My 1st choice would be to get involved with an independent broker who is willing to take me under his/her wing and help me transition into building my own agency a couple years down the road. Another possibility is to be groomed to take over a retiring agency.
My 2nd idea is to get in with a different exclusive company that will provide better training and some sort of base salary for at least a few months; or a company where quick commissions are a real possibility. Maybe a good life company since commissions are often front loaded and can mean a quick buildup to a decent income.
I love the idea of having some independence and having the opportunity to help people. I believe in the value of insurance and want to take that to my clients.
I would appreciate your ideas and suggestions. If you are have a busy agency in Denver and would like sales help that would be great! Also, any comments on Farmers is welcome.
Thanks and wish me luck!
