Hello everyone,
I am excited to be here and will first start by introducting myself. My name is Michelle, I am currently a respiratory therapist who has a full time job with a DME doing both the sales side and respiratory care in the home.
I am looking to sell life insurance as I'm sure you could imagine with me joining the forum.
I have been doing a ton of research and trying to understand it all but it is a ton to learn. I currently have 3 IMO's trying to recruit me. Eqios, Symmetry and FFL. I also applied to NYL but NYL doesn't seem like something I am able to do part time while I learn and keep my current job so I do not see myself going with them. Of the other 3, they all sound very similar, preach that they are the best and how sucessful you can be with their trainings. After reading more and more about the companies though and trying to do my due dilagence before choosing I must say it's a hard and scary choice to make.
Since a majority of you seem to be very knowledgeable and seasoned professionals I have come here to ask. What is the best way for me to get started and get the proper knowledge I need to succeed?
Of the 3 companies, the most experienced person I talked with has 10 years in the insurance industry so she wins for being the one with the most knowledge out of everyone I spoke with. They pay for my pre licensing course and I attend a boot camp which seems like it'll be good for learning the in's and out's but I understand that when I leave they want me to sign that contract before they release me which I don't like. Of course when I asked the women about it she says no you never sign anything, she also came from symmetry and has never tried to leave FFL. I guess it'll be interesting if she ever decides too.
Anyhow, it is worth it to let them pay for everything and just get myself on the ground running and go from there? Or is there a better route you suggest if I have my own money that I am okay putting towards my training and license to reap better rewards?
Open to all the input, and thank you in advance!
