Is any one else entering the insurance agent business?
I just took a 60 Q questionare how do you think I did? I feel nervous I did not not my own car and home policy limits?
I've been in the insurance field for about 12 yrs and an agent for 2, it's fun, interesting, but also can be very frustrating, and time consuming if you're going to be successful. Getting licensed is relatively easy, I passed both L & H and P&C the first time, the key is to pay attention in the licensing course. Patience, realistic expectations, and prudence is the key in this business. If you can do that then you should be successful. And as far as not knowing you're limits, don't feel bad about it, 95% of people out there have no idea what limits they're carrying, they don't understand what thier covered for, and won't until there is a problem/claim.

Good luck to you! I worked for an insurance company for several years. I passed my P & C exam the first time by one point! I no longer work in the business, but I have kept my license up to date. It's something to fall back on. If you studied hard & paid attention in the classes, you should do fine.

I've been an agent now for 4 yrs. It's rough getting started, but extremely worthwhile if you stick at it and work hard. Good luck!
