does anyone know how much i could expect to earn the first year as an allstate agent? what is the long-term earnings potential? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.
Right, the captive agent will get fixed salary from the company he/she is associated with, but an independent agent will earn in terms of commission. Hence, an independent agent is required to generate sufficient business continuously to enjoy the agency status.
in terms of commision earnings, it really all depends. i don't think that anyone can really say with any idea how much you will make. it depends on the agency, the type of insurance you sell, the region, your marketing efforts, your skill set, etc. that said, in a sense earnings are commensurate with the effort you put in. the hungrier i am to make money, the more i make. i would guess it to be the same for you. good luck!! _________________ -tentel
