Hi Folks

[TheBatman]

I'm new here and just following the prompt from Sam to post an introduction. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.

I'm licensed in Personal Lines, Health and Life, most of it by virtue of my previous employer. In February, I decided to get my Life license and go independent, sight unseen. (I know, I know...) I signed up with an IMO and decided that wasn't the way to go, and began asking for contracts from individual companies (signed with two) only to end up with an IMO that specializes in Medicare, and then added another Life carrier and a long-term care organization to my repertoire.

I bit off way more than I can chew in my admitted naivete, but am beginning to fine-tune my options to have less on my plate. (Though any of you that juggle multiple "projects", advice is welcome).

Again, I look forward to gleaning knowledge from these forums. Wish I'd stumbled on it much sooner.

Hello Batman,

I'm sure you're starting to see just how competitive this industry is. I'm also new to it and am seeing how intense it is starting out. The competition is fierce because there is money here. Anyway welcome to the forum Batman

Mark, did I detect a hint of sarcasm in your post? You're really creating a hostile environment for prospective members of our forum. We need to be welcoming to new members with as little sarcasm and cape-twirling as possible. Also, please don't flip your hair, it's very intimidating.
