Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Sorry to break it to you, but your impressive resume did not win you this offer; nor will your bubbly personality or witty responses during your interview.Insurance companies don't hesitate to offer contracts (and you are a contractor; not an employee) to anyone who meets their minimum criteria and shows even a remote potential for success. It is a numbers game, and what they shell out for recruiting and career financing is well worth the two to three percent of recruits who make it beyond the first two years.Okay; all the gloom aside, here's the answer to your question: Make sure that they are not a "captive" shop. That is, make certain that you are able to offer many products and represent any number of companies in the marketplace. You owe it to your client to be able to offer only the solution which best fits the need. Next, ensure their commitment to agent support; including adequate stipend, training, and administrative staff. If you have even the slightest doubt about their commitment to the success of both you and your clients, head to the nearest exit immediately. Somewhere in your town there exists the right place. Ending up at the wrong one will leave you bankrupt, both financially and morally. Source(s): Financial planner, agency co-owner.rob@safemoneyconcept.com
