This is going to be a bit long sorry...
Worked captive selling life annuities and ltc for about a year and a half... was successful but I drove 3 hours a day... (basically I had no life)
Got my pc license and joined a indy agency! (Woohoo!)
Here's my problem... I went indy because I wanted to start my own book of business... most of the log in information is shared... so out of 7-8 agents we all have same password and username for most carriers... (fishy)
They haven't gave me access to the management system, it's been 5 months... (fishy)
I don't have experience in the p and c world so when I have a question they pretty much say... your not ready to write this one yet go on to the next...
They want me to be in the office so I can write new business but honestly they have 7 -8 agents that are there as well so it's almost impossible...
I ask questions on if all policies are the same and the answer is always well you can read through each contract to see if it is...
I asked one of the agents that works with me how he knew if a certain carrier would actually pay out the claim and he just said... u kinda have to just trust they will do the right thing...
Biggest reason for me not being able to sell is just because I don't have a reason to say we'll my agency's progressive policiy is better than your current one... so I try to sell on price... but that isn't right...
I'm 21... considering just starting my own agency because why split 70/30 if they are not going to help me with anything...
I'm looking for help... it's honestly my dream to be able to run a successful agency and help clients with what they need accurately...
