Insurance Agent Forum

Hello,

I've recently started the exciting job of insurance agent. I work for Farmers Insurance in Bellingham, WA(all the way up by the canadian border). I was wondering if anyone had any advertising tips for someone starting out and also had good advice on getting leads as well. Anything and everything is greatly appreciated.

he is a litte frustrated, he works for a broker here in FL and is not getting any leads and has pretty much used up all his own leads and feels like he is out of options.... this is his 5th week and has only written like one group plan and one individual plan. and thinks hes going to get the boot because hes not producing enough ... any suggestions

ten years experience seeking to open own business may a allstate or nationwide? any advice

Does anybody have anything that is working as far as getting business from the net? I don't mean buying leads...I mean people coming to you from the net...thanks!

I've seen quite a bit of flurry going on about this "Conspiracy Report" has anyone read it?

I've followed the insurance mavericks for some time, and this has some pretty good stuff, but I'm not sure what to think at this point.

Thoughts???

I am an agent with one of the GIANT life companies and the quotas are not easy. Does anyone know of a good source for mortgage protection leads besides the shady NAA source ?

what is the difference betweenbeing a captive agent and an independent agent?

What are the common objections an agent faces in a sales situation?

I have received this tip via email and I want to share it with you.

Cross-Sell To Success

One of the biggest mistakes the vast majority of agents make, (especially P&C agencies) is not taking advantage of opportunities to ‘Cross-Sell' their clients. Back End or Repeat Sales, with your existing clients, is where the real money is made. It's how you can easily increase your sales and your profits.

How do you get appointed for P & C
