Sorry, I know these must get old. I have been lurking a while and taking it all in. I know captive isn't a popular choice but I think it will work for me. I have been in sales for many moons and am used to excelling so a slow start is really disappointing. I am in the training phase for Farm Bureau and struggling to get my first accounts. Holy crap, I love insurance and always have, I bought my first policy over 20 years ago at 20 and I am just realizing not many people want to discuss changing. Please tell me it gets better! I have worked in the Ag industry for the last 10 years and sold my own ag business recently so I feel more comfortable with farms and animals and the things that go along with them. I started with friends and family but people seem so reluctant to change, most people my age have been with the same place for 20 years. I also have no office yet. Any advice? I can only sell P&C and some life until I am done with training. Oh and thanks for all of the great advice so far even if you didn't know I was taking it.
