Insurance Agent Forum

Hello All,

I'm new to this forum and have been reading through posts and getting some good ideas.

What I wanted to ask everybody is what kind of followup system do you currently have in place for leads. For instance, you give an auto quote...How do you leave it off with the person?

I looking at becoming an insurance adjuster. I've been in residential design, surveying, scouting, and construction for 19 years. It seems there would be a need for adjusters at the hard hit areas of the USA and i was wondering if this is a good field to be in. How much money can an adjuster make? How difficult is it to become one? - thanks!!!

firstly i want to do some training for two to three weeks in delhi and then i want any job or tell me the name of any company which can provide me free training

I'm just curious to know how many of us work from home vs at an office? When I went independent I decided to work from home and was very nervous about it. But I like it. I have clients here from time to time but mostly I go to their homes or business.

I had one nightmare client who showed up at my place all the time - without any appointment or anything and at all hours of the day and night. At my first opportunity I parted ways with that client.

There are situations prospects walk away the moment an agent introduces himself as an insurance agent.

If you choose not to mention insurance agent, what other ways you introduce yourself?

whats the best ... i am thinking about working full time as an adjuster. also should i look into a salary position at a company or would i make more money doing distaster work?

Can I become licensed as a P&C adjuster online in the state of Florida?

I just joined today and haven't found the "search" function yet so if this has been discussed, ...never mind.

I'm thinking this site could provide some good networking opportunities. Has there been a post that shows where each member is located?

If someone comes to me with a need for a product I don't have (even if they are in a different state...or their family member, friend) - I could easily refer them to someone on the board.

I would like to start a discussion on Medicare sales and marketing. If you are considering offering these products, there is a steep learning curve.

I am in the senior market in Oregon. Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are confusing, and time consuming to learn.

I can answer or respond to detailed questions in other threads or posts:

General:

-Social Security enrolls seniors and disabled in Medicare.
-Medicare (CMS) regulates marketing activity.
-MA plans are available on medicare.gov by county.

I'm about to start with a small independent agency that has the owner and a CSR working there. They strictly sell property insurance to churches and I want to learn the commercial industry and possibly dabble in other niche industries similar to that of these churches. I have very limited expierence in insurance and would like some advise on a few things.

1. With commercial property insurance, to churches, with regard to prospecting, is it more profitable to buy leads, cold call, or a combonation of both? Explain!!!
