The best training will likely come from a good captive outfit. Now, just because one captive office is good in one city or town does not guarantee that they wil be good in yours. If you are truly interested in going to captive route you should check out the ILIAA (independent life insurance agents' association). They offer all sorts of training and other agent recourses that you'll find very valuable. Google them or send me a private message and I can get you to them.

Depending on an IMO or BGA/MGA to train you can be tricky, and I'd advise against it.

There are a couple of carriers who have some real good training programs for their new captive units. The best thing about captive units is that the agents are gradually aware of the various internal processes within the company. They learn a lot through their experiences. Once you have a few years experience with a captive unit, it would help you develop your own book of business.

I'll agree with BNTRS in his belief that one captive agency operating successfully in one city may not be as good in other places. You'd need to find out the successful ones in your city. You may do an online research regarding the same.
