On the Side?

[Glad2bHere]

Hi Folks:

Just a quick question if anyone knows of, or has heard of, a person selling Insurance products secondary to another full-time job. The reason I ask is that I was imagining a person, say, working at a full-time job and using that position to identify prospects among co-workers.
I wonder what a given Insurance company would say, given that the appointments would not be done while punched-in on the day-job. Thoughts? Comments?

Best Wishes,

Bruce

As long as you are independent and not on a career contract with a min imum production level no one would care.

Companies don't care when you write apps.. they just want you to write apps. There are many part time agents in the business.

It's not an issue with the Insurance companies, wether it becomes an issue with your employer approaching thier customers for your off the job sales is another matter.

I wonder what type of a "day job" would be a good way to get paid to prospect.

I have thought of this also. It would be sort of a like a referral source. Some things that came to mind when I was considering this were:

A person who delivered medical supplies to older people - source for MA plans to switch over

Some type of sales person who calls on HR department - you could set up an agreement with a group health guy to give you an ongoing referral fee to be a "bird dog". Or using the relationship as a source for people retiring, etc.

I always try to think of who calls on my clients/prospects, and if there is a way I can work with them to develop a win/win situation. The OP's question is basically a one off of that scenerio.

One of my agents works at a dry cleaners. He got his license and wanted to sell on the side. He makes around a thousand dollars a month doing this.

This is how I got started in insurance - patient accounts.

Prospecting patients is a sure way to get the boot, but it definitely hard to bite my lip when a patient says "I've got a guy from Banker's Life coming over next week, do you know if that's any good?" Good steady pay, excellent benefits, and I'm off four days a week to sell.
