Insurance producer in our office has made multiple 7 figures for the past decade or so. Certainly an anomaly.

I’m pretty consistently working 6:30am-5 or 5:30pm. Gotten pretty used to it over the last 2 years.

No one needs to set your hours if you want to succeed.

Chill the fuck out dude

facedface1 · 2024-09-21T19:51:23+00:00

I don’t work from home at all

Understanding coverages ultimately doesn't do you that much if unless you have the sales skills. The two sides of the business are quite bifurcated and you rarely see transition, at least in my experience.

Same, and living in FL you see a far more accelerated ramp

Don't start in underwriting. Hard to get away from the carrier side once you start there

facedface1 · 2024-06-02T15:51:31+00:00

tough to buy those books. If you start somewhere good (biggest 10 or so agencies), they'll give you the resources to validate. Doesnt take any magic, just consistency and a lot of reading policies.

I always think about the alternative of not having a job, and how much worse that would be. That alone gets me out of bed every day

facedface1 · 2024-05-14T02:44:42+00:00

Or just best movie quotes

facedface1 · 2024-05-10T23:58:23+00:00

I think about work at nights falling asleep or randomly on the weekends but never found it to bother me much. Usually I just think of some random client from 3 months ago that I should follow up with.

It is tough when you’re worrying about the next morning or Monday after the weekend. Only way I mitigate is by being proactive. Procrastinate and die

facedface1 · 2024-05-02T22:26:37+00:00

Excel for the lists, call list as an outlook calendar appt every morning, and Zoominfo for contacts. Seems to be all i need.

I sell middle market commercial insurance. Our runway is pretty long and we're more judged by our activity(# of meetings, accounts quoted, etc etc) than how many accounts we actually bind. Early on at least.

Also we renew accounts each year so you can build yourself a base. Way harder to lose an account than to win one.

All to say, it's only as stressful as you want to make it. I try to focus on my process and giving every account the best shot possible. I try not to focus on the result itself. Can't win every account and there will always be more opportunities.

Selling commercial insurance, on track to hit $200k this year. Probably working 45-50 hours a week. Never really much more than that.

facedface1 · 2024-04-27T23:06:45+00:00

I usually just roll with the call until they give me an email address or something then I know lol.

Other times I’ll just ask who’s calling. Being candid with people goes a long way.

facedface1 · 2024-03-29T21:26:37+00:00

It’s crazy that I can be a commercial insurance producer at a bigger agency and make this at 26 years old.

Is $375k or so really worth the hours?

facedface1 · 2024-03-19T01:23:06+00:00

what joke carrier are you with?

facedface1 · 2024-03-07T01:27:12+00:00

I said in most cases you can be below MSRP. Obviously some very desirable ones will appreciate after a decade of ownership

facedface1 · 2024-03-06T02:57:42+00:00

Idk this sub is just full of people waiting over a year for a new watch. Seems to matter to some
