: : : : : A word to the wise. If you are considering a career in the Insurance Idustry...Don't be a captive agent. No matter how alluring the promises you are made, 90% are untruths. I worked for Bankers Life and Casualty for 5 years, and was forced to embelish how "easy" it was to be an insurance agent. The deceptive sales tactics you are asked to undertake, the low compentsation, and the hours you are required to work as a 1099 employee, make Bankers and many other Captive agencies, very unattractive careers. Be a broker!! Be independent. Place your loyalty with the client, not an Insurance Company. If you do this, it will be a longer and more difficult struggle. However, the rewards you will reap in the end, far surpass what you "could" do with a captive agency.

: : : : I agree with you on both points. In most cases the Insurance company in the end is not loyal to you!
: : : Being a broker is different. The insurance company is not expected to be loyal to you, therefore there are not any expectations on your part. If you know people who are considering being an agent or
if you are looking for a company who is loyal look into Primerica, we are the only company who sales only term life insurance. Any agent who sales anything but term is a crook even if you are a broker. We reveal how other insurance companies devistate families and that why we are hated by the industry. Primerica is the real deal. Any intelligent person can see that if you do your research.
