Hi All,
As the tittle states I am posting about having my first insurance producer interview which is scheduled for Monday the 15th and thought this would be a great place to get advice/direction on how to knock this interview out of the park.
A little about me first. I am 27 years old and I am from Canada and I just finished my Insurance Broker Licence Course- I am still waiting on a exam date. I had in the mean time applied for some positions as a broker/agent all which are aware that I am not fully licensed yet.
Why did I choose to go for a producer position then going with a structured pay scale job? Well I already that my long term goals are to own my own book of business and why not start on that path from the get go then wasting time. I feel like if I would go with a company and be on a another employee on a salary job + commission I will eventually get comfortable where I am and it will be harder to step away from that to start from zero again. I dont have any obligations to anyone or anything, no mortgage so I can make that move while im young with having nothing to loose ( some may agree this is great some may not , which is fine with me)
I have my first interview with a smaller local brokers from the city I am from on Monday. I would like to get some feed back from of you on typically how a interview for a position would go? What are some good questions to ask? I am not sure how much different the commission structure is different from the US/CAN but what would be a standard split for someone starting out?
I have a bunch more that will eventually come to mind but I dont want to ask to much off the bat.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated in advance.
Thank you.
