Insurance Agent Forum

I am a new agent contracted through NAA here in Arizona. I am making a huge career change from the finance side of the car biz after 13 years. My question is what is the best form of insurance to sell Health, p/c, or just life, and why? Also who would be best to work for/with? I am the sole source of income for my family and don't have time to monkey around trial and error style. I have enough money to last me for 4-5 months so it is important that I get as much good advice and info as possible. Thank You Thank You!

I am intersted in becoming an independent agent. I have years of insurance experience in many areas; however, I don't know if I need to have a lot of capital. I plan to do it from home at the beginning since I currently work from home for my current employer. I live in Missouri and have found conflicting information regarding the requirement of funds. I will have three others coming on board as well. Any advice on how to get started and if we definitely, as an independent have to have a large amount of funds to get stated. Thanks

Hello,
I have found this to be a very useful forum. Thanks in advance for all the information. I am looking to change careers and property claims adjusting looks like a good fit. I have found some online training websites. Where is a good guide for a step by step process to get in the business? Thanks, Dan

Ok, I guess I do not know what I'm doing. I have no idea how this ended up in Auto Insurance. I'm interested in Property Claims. If anyone knows how move this to the right forum, please let me know.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a claims adjuster license in TX if you have a felony?

Hi, Can anyone suggest a good company to buy P&C leads from? We have tried netquote and quotesauction and were not happy with either one.

I am currently licensed for life/health, I am trying to see the benefits of getting a property and casualty license, what are the pros and cons as far as earning potential?

i want to sell auto insurance policies. do i have to become a agent?

I received in the mail the other day information on Indexed Annuities. I was wondering if anyone heard that they were changing the rules on agents selling this type of Annuity. As it stands now, any agent without a securities license can sell it but the SEC wants to change that. They want anything connected to a variable product sold only by Licensed agents. I am assuming that this would affect anyone specializing in this product, especially if they are not licensed. Are there any comments about this?

I am an agent in TX, and have run my health insurance business soley on shared internet leads. TX is a very competitive state, and agents are all flocking to these lead sources. Even when I buy, so called, exclusive leads, I am still the 3rd or 4th agent to call.

I did some googling and came across a company by the name or Health Leads Now. They call on business's and when someone is interested in insurance they are automatically transfer them to you.

Not only that but the leads are exclusive and the leads are only $4 each.
