I am coming from a retail sales background and am considering a career with Northwestern Mutual. At this time, I have very few financial obligations, so I can afford to take my time learning the business. I don't have the best "natural market" and I don't really want to call my friends and family anyway. From my previous sales experience, I am good at closing and working with clients, but I am nervous about having to go out and find clients.
My big question is if Northwestern is the best place to start or if I should look for an independent firm. I have also talked to Farm Bureau, but they said they want you to push life insurance even though they are mainly in auto, home, and health insurance.
I want to eventually move away from just insurance and do investments, etc.
