New to Commercial Insurance

Pick one or two classes to start. Become an expert in those two classes... go out and get some quotes rolling. Ask, Ask, Ask... be on the phone with your U/W
 
If you have a specific niche that you want to work in, I would recommend learning EVERYTHING you can about that niche. Join an association (or two) that relates to that niche market, and if they have a section for businesses that support an industry where you can pay as a business associate, I would do that.

I've done that for the niche markets I focus on, and while it's a bit slow going at the beginning, once you get moving the leads and interest will start to flow in. I spoke at an event last October, and a person from the SBA (Small Business Administration) has asked me to speak for them a couple of times this year, as well as be a part of their panel of speakers for specific events. It takes time, and you have to grind and put yourself out there, but it does build your credibility and gets you out there as an expert in the insurance field.
