Hello everyone,
Can anyone give me some advice on getting started in the insurance/financial planning business?
I have my series 7 and life/health insurance licenses and Im thinking about leaving my comfortable desk job/salary and going into the insurance/financial planning business. I recently interviewed with Metlife and Pru.
My pros:
-like to help people
-always been entrepreneurial minded
-like the idea of unlimited earnings potential/residuals
-have knowledge of financial mkts/products
My Cons:
-tons of bills right now
-wife at home with 2 kids and 8 months pregnant
-hard to adjust to commissions from salary
-I dont have much sales experience
Any pointers on which company to work for, realistic earnings, what to expect the first few years, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
