I've been in Human Resources in the Automotive (MFG), for ten years. Recently, I've begun to investigate the idea of getting into the insurance business. My thinking is to become an agent of an office such as Allstate, Nationwide, etc.
If you have any information regarding Allstate's process, would you be willing to share?
Is it better to open a new office or purchase an existing book of business?
What type of salary should an agent reasonably expect in the first year?
How much out of pocket costs would you estimate is involved in starting up an agency?
If you could recommend a company (Allstate, State Farm, Nationwide, etc.), which company would that be and why?
