Learning Commercial Insurance

[mike6075]

I just got my P& C license. I would like to focus on commercial. If the GA that I work with does not know much about Commercial Insurance. Can I learn the business from the carriers? Obviously the way to go woud be to set up with someone who understands commercial but if I did'nt, could I get training from the carriers? If yes, then would that apply to other niches?

Check with your carriers to see if they have any classes or seminars. The problem with using carriers for training, is you get trained on their products. The best place to find nonbiased training is through your local insurance association.

My opinion is that a good commercial GA is important too. If you have a specific niche in mind, I suggest you find a GA that also focuses on that niche. They will be able to help you understand the ins and outs of the various programs and help you get your business placed.

Where do you live? Erie insurance has awesome training? You can also get trained through the Society of Insurance Counselors(CIC)? There are various websites that also have training, just Google?

Lots of sites just research for it. You can contact your local area to ask about it. The nearer the better.
