Newly licensed in FL, how do I get appointed?

[PharmacistAgent]

I just got my 2-15 license and looking to sell final expense policies part time. I'm brand new and can anyone guide me on how to get appointed. I know you have to be appointed withing 24 months or your license will lapse in FL. Can I appoint myself as an unaffiiliated agent so that my license won't expire?

Just call a company you want to get appt with. Foresters, Oxford, MoO etc. You don’t have to be under anyone.

Yep, some carriers let you contract directly, and some make you go through a Field Marketing Organization.

With complete respect to you @PharmacistAgent - if you are a completely (and I mean truly new) new agent, why on earth would you want to get appointed by yourself?

Doug Massi is based in FL and knows the market. I would call him.

I am newly licensed ( Life & Health) and need to know if I signup to become a broker with a Life Carrier. Why are they asking for money to get an appointed & agent number with them? Will all carriers I apply for ask for money too? Thank you

I'm having the same issue. I need to get appointed so that my license wont expire. How do I get appointed without having to pay fees to my "employer". I just want to work for commission but why is it every place ua asking me to pay for leads. Is there any job where I can work for commission? Seems like a lot of scam I'm encountering. I could be wrong.
