Hi guys,
I am new to the forum!
I am looking to leave the comfort of google to get into the insurance industry due to just simpky a love for start ups and entrepreneurship. I have already been approved state farm in CA but I would like to ask you personally about which captive to go with is best to start if they are each options.
I need to learn Insurance however since all I have is biz dev background, coding and sales. Nowadays who is going to be good in CA to start with. I am approved by State Farm, went through some very "interesting" test however after reading the forum I am worried that it may just be a lot of fluff with the fact that 4/5 agents are successful (which I define as 100k after rent, and employee cost within 5 years). Some questions I ask myself:
1.) Is it scalable? - I notice a lot of state farm agents only have roughly one other agent under them in the mean time I am thinking wow? I am trying to build a biz, not a job is this right path for a guy like me?
2.) Is leaving and selling a book of business even possible?
3.) Can I start more agencies once I have proof of concept with the first with either?
4.) Who is better for the Customer (The most important for a guy like me)
Thanks in advance guys! Merry Chirstmas
