I'm interested in startting my own Independent Insurance Agency. Does anyone know the steps?

Question

I have being selling Insurance for the past 5 years. I need to know how or the easiest way of getting appoitments with companies ect....

Answer 1

You must provide them with a plan on how you will meet their requirements. I have some companies that only require $50,000 of premium and some that want $750,000 of premium volume. If you have a good reputation, some companies are willing to take a chance on you.

My agency just turned 5 years old and I represent 15 companies. You can do the same if you know the right people and have a good reputation.

Answer 2

Call the companies you have worked with and ask how you can establish an independent agent relationship. Are you licensed?

Answer 3

If you want to sell P&C, contact me!  (Yahoo provides the link.)

I sell Life.  I need someone, somewhere, to take the cases I cannot place (since I do not hande the P&C).

The appointments can be handled in a few hours.  Lots of forms.  (Yuk!)
