Hi all,
I've always had great interest in insurance field and I finally decided to take a step into this field after weeks of consideration.
I did some researches on Google and read lots of posts in insurance agent forums, and gained so much valuable informations. Thanks to you all. However, before I finally make a decision, I need one last question answered that couldn't find anywhere.
I'd like to ask you that if I work as an agent for a broker company that offer Life/health/Annuity/P&C and etc. from multiple carriers, how much commission split should I expect without getting provided any leads? Is there a residual income every year for me as my clients renew their policies or is it for broker to keep? And lastly, what type of policies have residual income?
Thanks for viewing and I'd appreciate your help.

you should have residual with life health and p/c. Your gona have a big variation in commission levels.

Your gona have a big variation in commission levels.
Are you suggesting that these commission levels would vary depending on the different carriers? Or is it that they're gonna vary with the nature of insurance (i.e. different for health, P&C etc.)?

I would say depending on the different lines the commissions would be different. You should definately get residual income as well.
Are looking to sell a specific line or all 4?

I would like to start with Life & annuity part first. Is there residual income on every type of life insurance (term, whole, UL)?

Uilee, life and annuity is certainly a great way to start. I'd agree with lisar that commission would vary with the line of insurance. And, life and annuity line of insurance would attract greater commission than the P&C line. The same would happen with the residual income as well. IMO you're making the right choice by opting the career of the life & annuity agent.
