I don't think there are too many P&C agents who are active in the forum, but there are a few. Maybe they have been actually doing some work today and haven't seen your question yet.
really? thanks then still have hope, lol.. I would also be selling commerical, the agent (owner) that wants me to come aboard will train me in those areas. I just want to make sure its a fair offer. or should i wait and search more.
You start out making what you make now, with a reasonable potential to increase your income. I don't see much downside here, if you will like the work that the agent will have you do (commercial is tough, but can be very rewarding).
The only question I would ask is what happens if you move on before the draw is paid back? Is it treated as a loan?
To me, it's far more about it being a fit personally. With the base salary, the commission level is decent.
If you are located in a state where American Family Insurance operates you may want to look into them.
They will pay you a base, plus you get your commissions and help paying for your office. I think that depending on the state the base is between 3-4k per month.
