I am entirely new to being an insurance producer. Last year, I earned my Health Insurance Producer license and was approached by AFLAC. During our first in person interview, I was offered a job (he cited not only my license, but also my Bachelor's degree in Public Health, Master's degree in Health Administration, and two years of experience working in healthcare). At the time, I had been searching far and wide for a position in healthcare and insurance and couldn't come up with anything, so this hurried approach made me skeptical, but I was willing to give it a shot.
I was told to come in to the office and we would begin training, I started off with a package which listed office space pricing. It was explained that I would not be given the option to work remotely, I had to work in their office, but I also had to pay them to use their office space. This immediately screamed BS, so I left.
Recently, I have started looking into insurance companies again and have received calls to come in for interviews from Family First Life and Banker's Life. Again they try to sell you quickly on their company, but quick google searches come up with lots of negative information. I am again very skeptical of them and wonder if any of you could help me make a breakthrough in Massachusetts.
Is paying for office space the norm, how about working from home?
Are CRM leads legit? What prices are reasonable? (I thought rates were flat; however the guy from Family First Life explained different and quoted prices that were more than what I've seen on EFES)
What companies in my area (Massachusetts) actually work/do any of you have experience with?
