A small family-owned agency (4 agents) that does P&C, Life, has asked me to join them (to do health). I've not yet interviewed or even agreed to interview... but I was flattered to be asked...seeing as I don't know what I don't know yet!
If you work for the John Doe Agency (in Calif):
1. Do I keep my appointments or do I have to change them to the name of the agency?
2. If I sell a policy, is it my client (should I leave) or theirs?
3. Assuming it is their client, would I still get to keep the renewal if I leave?
4. What kind of 'stuff' should I expect besides a free desk, phone, and mail (or will I even get that?)
5. Blue pays me 20% as an independent. Will the agency pay that... or will they take a cut (or pay me more?)
I understand being independent (as I am now) and I understand being captive (say to NYL or Met.) What is the deal working for an agency? Do any of you work for one? Please enlighten us.
