Is it a good idea to get my state license to be a life insurance

You have to be good at selling and talking to people. You will pretty much cold call people and go to random businesses trying to get them to buy your life insurance.

It is a really unpleasant and uncomfortable job especially if you are coming from here, and most people will hate you but if you fall in the right place at the right time you can get rich.

That's what I was worried about. I haven't asked them yet, but is there such thing as these agents being payed hourly plus commission from the policies sold? I'm in California btw if that matters.


My uncle convinced me yesterday to do this, and it sounded okay. The company basically pays all of the test fees and I get training as well. I know it was stupid to not ask about money, I guess I figured I wasn't doing shit currently so why not give it a shot. Especially if they're gonna pay for it.

Some places do hourly I think when you are just starting out but I doubt it. If you don't have anything better to do and can see yourself going up to random businesses and asking them to buy your insurance that they don't want without having an anxiety attack I would give it a shot, you only need one or two big deals and you can coast off the commission for a lifetime sometimes.

Fuck. I might just go this week, I'll let him know I might not be able to do it.

Honestly I'm having anxiety just thinking about leaving for this in an hour. Super regret agreeing to this. I'm hoping that I'm just being a pussy and things will be okay later once I'm out.

I had a position as a freight agent 3 years ago. Basically just trying to get truckers to agree to transport loads. So I guess I do have some experience in sales. However I didn't do the best, a lot of those people already had agents they trusted. I know you said one or two good deals will have a person set, do you know if it's hard to get just an average customer? I mean it sounds a little easy, you just tell people they could die unexpectedly.
