Hello All -
I am an experienced P&C agent in MA. I have been in the field for 5.5 years, working for an independent agency. Just got licensed in L&H as well.
I am looking for any information on how to, what to look out for etc when opening your own shop. I am very excited about the idea and a hard worker.
My current agency owner is not offering any incentives, and does not need a true producer. I have been producing paid hourly plus a tiny commission in the first policy year and that is it. I let my boss know I am looking for more, I do not mind visiting clients etc but he is just comfortable where he is I think and just not that into the idea. I am very driven, like what I do and like working with people so it is a no brainer I should look into other possibilities like opening my own small agency.
So please feel free to comment your experience, ideas!
Thank you!
