I have been working for a State Farm Agent for the past 10 years. I currently have my P&C, L&H and Series 6 in FL. I have wanted to go indy for a long time focusing on L&H. I have finally decided to take the plunge and signed up through Health Choice One based on the recommendations on this site. My boss, however, has been trying to tell me all the horror stories of how over 90% of people will fail in this business by going independent and he thinks that I should take the $25k salary + bonus' he gives and be happy to stay. I have a hard time believing that even in this "rotten economy" as he continue's to remind me, that it is possible to net $50k per year. Please give opinion's and let me know how everyone else feels. I am an above average sales person with a ton of drive- but he is making me second guess myself. Thanks
I'm not sure who SRQ Willie is, but I find it hard to believe he did not get support from HCO. We have daily live webinar training on all of our products and sales methods as well as several account managers available every day to assist with quoting, sales, product selection, underwriting, etc… We answer our phones live 99% of the time and have a staff of 19 to service our agents. I have not received a request from anyone this week to leave HCO, so I suspect this information from SRQ is an attempt to recruit you to another organization.
Feel free to call me anytime. You’ll be able to see for yourself what we are all about and I’m confident you’ll be very pleased with what you find.
Thanks, I think we have an appointment to talk today at 11:30 this morning. I am very happy so far with everyone I have dealt with. I have done some research and I think that HCO will work fine with me! Thanks for your help!
