What Am I Worth?

[moonlightandmargaritas]

I am single mom of 2 kids so that is why I was asking for a salary on top of commission. If I were single with no kids then 100% commission would be the best thing, but at this point I still need to know I have a set income coming in to take care of things.

You end up paying dearly for this "perceived security"...

There is no security in working for someone else. What if you got fired? What would happen to your "salary"?

The only true security for you and your kids is working for you (if you're as good as you say you are).

The only reason to sell insurance is to build your own book of business. As far as a "job" in the field of insurance - pulling up a desk for salary - there are 50 other things I'd rather do.

Salary + sales = sucker's bet. Salary is for office pogues. If you're on salary in sales and are a hard worker and good closer you're getting royally screwed. If you're not a hard worker or good closer you're fired. You will NEVER win on salary.
