Selling Life Insurance in Florida

[agentwind]

What part of FL are you in?

Tallahassee, with frequent trips to Pensacola.

(to those of you who have PM'd me, thank you! I cannot respond until I reach the 20 post count, but I will take action on what you have said soon!)

It may be possible to get a higher percent of commission contract by not going direct with the company. No, I don't offer life contracts.

I'm getting a Master's Degree (Economics) in December.

Would it be inappropriate/misrepresentation to put M.S. after my name on mailers, business cards, etc...?

For the most part you will be the only one who knows what that means. It is not going to help you sell insurance, in my opinion.

However, I would not put it on a card and definitely not until I have earned the degree. Many agents on here have advanced degrees and I don't know any who put them on the insurance business card. Many use the designations specific to insurance but even a lot of them don't use them.

Will do! But first, what is an upline?

The more professional the better. Clients feel you know your products when they see education initials behind your name. A PLUS.

An upline (such as myself) is a GA or FMO that can get you contracted/appointed with with multiple carriers. Your upline would/should be able to give you any support you need to get off the ground. If you need help with choosing carriers, the sales process, quoting or finding the right carrier for a particular client, you would call your upline.

Thank you guys! I can't tell you how helpful this has been--and again, to those who have PM'd me, I appreciate it. I just cannot reply yet because I don't have a high enough post count.

Instead of clicking on PM, try clicking on "e-mail". Many of us are setup to receive e-mail from those who don't have enough posts to PM.
