Let's take the pressure off of the companies/agencies for a bit.
What if... you could be trained BEFORE you start? Then, after you started, you only need specific product knowledge, someone to show you around, and the way things worked at THAT agency?
What if... you could have your training done for $30/month... and, if you liked it, you could then purchase a suite of tools, templates, power points, etc.?
The Insurance Pro Shop offers online VIDEO training that really is the training I wish I got my first week with a captive career agency. And yes, it's only $30/month right now.
The Leading Insurance Marketing And Sales Training For Today's Advisors
Later, you can purchase one of their systems for $1,000 or less that include the templates, power points, and other tools.
What companies have you tried so far?
I guess my thoughts are that you become an indy so that you create this atmosphere and not rely on a company to do so...
You have a lot of choices. I've represented d several companies and am happy to share my experiences. Still represent a handful but focus on three that have unique products that sets us apart and opens doors. Drop me an email with contact number and we'll set a time to talk. Gary at Insurance dot Lassin dot com. Yes, there are two dots in my email address.
Thanks for the information! You have given me a lot to think about. I suppose my thought was that I would like to get FIRST get affiliated with a company that will gladly take someone like me (in my early 30s, new to the industry and new to selling) under its wing to give me the tools I need to succeed. I am not opposed to jumping in on a subscription-based training service but I am naturally skeptical given all the useless companies out there that claim to promote viable, legitimate opportunities for agents. When searching job engine sites for opportunities I tend to get a bit jaded as most sound very scam-like.
DHK - Could you please elaborate on your experience with this product suite?
Thanks for the reply. I agree that it's best to be pro-active and not rely on a company/person to hand you all the tools. And yes, being an independent agent appeals to me but I foresee a lot of hurdles with that out of the gate. 1) I don't have a sales background and am new to all this 2) I am not the type of guy that has a ton of business contacts
Therefore, it doesn't seem practical for me to expect to start up a pop-up agency on my own just yet. This is why I am looking to establish the groundwork first.
This makes me wonder... Are there indy agents out there looking for newbies to train and help grow their business? If so, how do I find said agent(s)?
