Would Like to Introduce Myself, Need Advice

[0b1kanobee]

I was just licensed 12/01/2008 last year in Florida (215). I'm workinging as an independent doing 403(b) work. I currently have 23 schools.
I have also been told to hook up with another company (by my independent agency) to cross-sell life and long term care. I also do 401k rollovers and set up IRA's.

I have been on 3 appointments so far and closed all 3, pretty much annuities. Being independent, I am free to do other insurance. I was considering health, but every agent I have meet in the office so far wants out of health. Just to clarify, I am new to insurance. Before I was a project manager, sales manager, business owner all related to the flooring industry.

I am grateful for the opporatunity that I have been given with this company. I am a people person, single, no kids, with some money set aside to ride me out for the next few years.

My question is, should I stay out of health for some reason? It seems that those who I have spoken with at the office don't like health due to the hours is my guess or maybe they find people who are uninsurable, I dunno?

I don't mind working nights and weekends. My friend does health but she does it secretly (I think) as the health company would not approve of her doing the independent thing too.

Am I trying to bite off more than I can chew? If not does anyone know of a company I should stay away from or ones that might work for me as far as health goes?

Anyone here in the Volusia county or Orlando area want to speak with me? Any questions that need more details on from me just ask. I'm trying to do the best I can because I would like to be successful in the biz. It just seems that others in the office are coming out of a field where they still work until this business provides them with enough money.

Any thoughts or contacts would be appreciated like list of companies or contacts for me in my area.

Welcome to the forum and the business. Congratulation on selling your first 3 appointment. I am curious what annuities you sold?

I personally do not deal with health insurance but there are many on here that do. There are a few on the forum here from Florida so I'm sure they will be along to answer your questions.

I just started around 2 weeks ago. One was a single premium indexed annuity for ten years rolled from a 401k. The other one is a 10 year bi-monthly payroll contribution indexed annuity with flexible premiums with a fixed side to it as well and the other was a fixed annuity for ten years with no option to put money in the index.

My clients have not been putting any percentage into the index portion (you can't lose on the index, worse case scenario is 0%).

So the short of it is fixed and indexed or a combination of the two.

I apologize for my question being vague. I was referring to the annuity company and their product. Sorry for the confusion.............

Hello all. Could anyone direct me to a non captive company in the Central Florida area or more specifically Volusia County area where I could sell health insurance and supplemental.
Thanks
