I’ve been out of insurance now for 6 months and I’d like an idea of where to start again.
I started in insurance about 3 years ago at Insphere Insurance Solutions, which was a major mistake. After awhile someone I knew there said that we should go into business ourselves and we would do a lot better than what we were currently doing. I agreed and set up our agency with the DOI as well as the business, though he did nearly nothing to help with all this and that should have been a tell tale sign of what was to come. After bringing in business from the CPA’s that I knew which consisted of life cases, estate planning, 412 I conversions and more, I realized that what I was bringing to the table was substantially more. I was okay with that since I was new and he was supposedly teaching me the ropes.
Instead he was getting ready to screw me over. After losing the practice to him as well as most the clients that I had secured, I gave up on insurance. I didn’t want to have to start over again, not to mention my wife had gotten sick so we moved out of state to lessen the financial burden that we began to experience. With our current situation I’d like to go back into insurance now, but don’t really feel like starting up another business, nor do I have the assets to do so anymore. Instead I’d like to be employed, 1099, by some insurance company to get back into the swing as well as establish myself again before I make that long journey of reopening a new business, this time alone.
Yea it sucks getting screwed over but in honesty I blame myself more than my partner since I should have seen the signs of it all along.
I was offered a position at Banker Life & Casualty, who provide leads, which is taken from your commissions, as well as a calling center and any other support you need to get going. I don’t want to end up again at a place like Insphere Insurance Solutions or obvious reasons, trying to get some honest opinions about where to restart. I was working on my series 7, 63, & 65 before I left the state but due to my current credit I doubt places like TD Ameritrade and Merrill Lynch would consider hiring me anymore. I told Banker’s I’d think about it and give them a call back later.
I am licensed in life & health, I have my long term care CA partnership and I’m Medicare certified.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
