I have plans to be an Agent for an Independent Insurance Agency after passing the P&C / L&H state exams. The agency I'm interested in working for has offered to pay 75% to me for new business, and 65% for residuals. I'll be a 1099, not an employee. Although the company is doing some advertising, I'm counting solely on myself to generate leads.
I have a few questions.
- Is this commission split a good deal for me, or should I try to negotiate?
- Should I ask for agreement that if I leave the agency, that I continue to receive my residuals?
- The agency wants me to specialize in business insurance. I'm fine with that. However, should I focus on another avenue starting out until I get some cash flow? What about Medicare Supplemental Coverage?
- Aside from my warm market and networking, what forms of marketing should I consider?
Thanks for taking time to read this. Looking forward to your comments!
