I have scanned this board looking for information on AFLAC, but have not found the specifics I desire. So, I have hijacked another poster's message and supplemented it will some of my additional question. Hopefully, this will help anyone considering this opportunity. I have recently been downsized out of my job and I am considering becoming an agent of AFLAC. I was hoping to get some help on how one starts out in this field. I hope you can take a moment and answer some questions that I have. Assuming you pass the exam and have a successful prior sales experience:
1. What are the major skills you need to get started?
2. What up-front costs are there?
3. How many months should you plan on for living expenses be before you make money?
4. In your experience, what is the best way to market the products?
5. I noticed you offer other companies besides AFLAC, would you recommend this for someone getting started?
6. How does AFLAC’s commissions compare to others in the industry?
7. On average, what percentage of leads are provided by AFLAC?
8. What is the length of a typical sales cycle when selling to a small (1-10 employees), medium (10-50), or large (50+) company?
9. What type of obstacle does a lack of insurance background offer?
10. What level of support do you receive from district/regional sales coordinators?
11. Describe a typical day
12. How has the current economy impacted AFLAC's products?
13. Any other help you can offer would help me tremendously. Thanks for any and all assistance.
