I've heard of Agents walking business to business to ask to quote their insurance. What are your opinions on this? Personally I think it would be a good change of pace, getting you out of the office. What do you guys think?

i have never heard of this company before(complete solutions) in vandalia ohio. i don't know if i should contract with them. in the contract it says something about monthly automatic withdrawls from my checking account to them . i would be a captive agent with them and they said they give me all my leads.it says about my compensation that i get 50% vested after 2 years and 100% vested after 5 years...does that sound good?

So I have my licenses for Life and health and P&C, I am getting appointed with all of my Life and Health companies this week. I have my own personal E & O. My question is who do I decide to write my P&C business with? I have been given the name of two companies that I can use to go through until I build my book, Myron and Steves or Texas United. How am I supposed to differ between the two? Am I supposed to have an agency license to do so? or can I use my own personal license being it is just me?
