Hello all,
I am currently studying for my states P&C License. I figured the path was pretty straight forward but after reading this site I am wondering if I want to continue on. I currently own a small business and most of my work is done at night and early in the morning due to time zones. I need to get out of the house during the day after 3 years of WFH 24/7. I have been looking at different sales jobs that have decent work/life balance and thought insurance sales fit that bill. Plus there are tons of captive locations which will make commuting not suck. I have sales experience as well as account management experience. It sounds like working as a producer is pleb work. Paying for leads or having it taken out of your commission? Yikes. Ideally I would like to go work for an experienced agent who would be willing to show me the ropes and I'm not afraid to tell them that/walk away if it is a bad fit. I've also looked at companies like Liberty Mutual working as an ISR.
All insight is appreciated.
