Starting as a captive agent may help one who is starting-out as a fresher. This way you would receive the initial guidance and time to build you book of business. Once you find your place in the highly competitive profession of insurance agents, start independent agency to capitalize on earned experience.	simon Senior member Joined: 28 Sep 2005 Posts: 550 93.66 Dollars($)

In addition, your products to sell will be limited to the products that the particular company sells. _________________ Gina DePinto www.hyperlinkis.com ----------------------------------- Helping exponentially grow your organization with technology	hlink23 New member Joined: 16 Jan 2009 Posts: 16 6.68 Dollars($)
