I'm moving my agency to a new and bigger location. It was set up to be a postal service and insurance. I don't want to do postal service and I'm trying to think of something else I can do with that area. What do you guys think would work with an insurance agency. I was thinking about selling cell ph...

hey thanks for the advice, I'll give the life insurance a try since it seems to be pretty easy to get appointed and it really won't hurt if I can't sell any.
thanks again

Anybody with experience, would you recommend adding life and health insurance to an agency that sells mainly non-standard auto. How hard would it be to get appointed with those companies.

and to you

I want to start doing regisration service out of my office but I don't know where to start. Anybody that knows can you point me to the right direction?

Why are you running mvr's and clues on quotes in the first place it's a quote ( estimate based on the information the customer gives you ). Your not the only one in this situation, I've wondered how to get the preffered appointment myself, because most of them want you to be appointed with atleast o...

I'm in california so I'm not familiar with the companies out there. I think it's O.K. to commit a little bit higher than what you will realistically achieve, as long as you don't go overboard.

Ive had been having the same problem for the past three months and I'm pretty fed up with having to call them and ask for my commission. They always give me the same excuse too. I figured oh well I'll just stop writing business for them and just use them if I have to in order to sell a policy but no...

Hi Scott, Im not looking to be a writer nor is my writing skills good enough to be one, but I just wanted to say good job on a nice website. That's a lot of work and information there.

I think 30K is just a little bit lower, should be more like 40k. Sure you have agents making less but I think the average agent that's been doing insurance for at least 2-3 years is making around 40K.

most companies pay you hourly plus bonus or commission.

thank you Joe Agent, I looked at them before becoming and IA, the monthly fee on top of the percentage I don't like but I will keep them as an option if I cannot get appointed directly. I just got a return call from Safeco and they said that they wanted to see me with atleast one preffered before th...

that list seems like it could be summed up in a sentence, buy more insurance and know what kind of insurance your buying.

Ive tried 4 to 5 but no response, I've only worked with non-standard and I don't have any connection with any preffered providers

im still trying to get some preffered market appoinment if anybody has any suggestions Id really appreciated.

Yes, I am appointed with them. Their rates are pretty competetive and their customer service hold time is usually a minute or so. They are a part of Sterling.

What MGA would you suggest, and by volume what amount do you think would be enough to get my own appointment.
