I’m currently being offered a position as the life and health insurance agent at a P&C agency where I’ll be focusing on group benefits, Medicare, life and LTC. I have a book of business that’s enough to live off of and work, but I would definitely like to grow the business.
They are still wanting to figure out details but they are thinking that they want me to be an employee and then share commissions. I’m thinking that a simple 50/50 split would be reasonable on all their business contacts that I convert and then I’d keep 100% of what I bring in from outside agency.
I’m not real excited about being asked to be an employee mainly because I enjoy the flexibility of being self-employed.
Thoughts?
