Nicole Said:

what is the best way to be an auto insurance agent and get licensed?

We Answered:

I would call the large carriers, Allstate, State Farm, etc. They will hire a new agent and help you open an office if they think you have what it takes. You can even buy a book of business.
I would pick the company with the best training and the best mentor/sales manager.

How to become a Auto Insurance agent in Texas?

We Answered:

You go to the texas insurance department website, to get the information you need to take the test and buy the study materials.

THEN, you have to call around to auto insurance companies, and convince them to let you sell their insurance policies. With no track record or experience, not having any idea how to actually write a policy, you're going to have a very, very hard time getting an insurance company to let you write their policies.

You don't need a franchise, but, of course, a lot of people buy them.

95% of new agents wash out - which is part of the problem, as odds are, you won't be doing this a full year.

Your best bet, is to go to a local agency, local to you, and ask them if they'd hire you as a producer. For a commission split, you'd get to use the agency contracts. As a bonus, they'll help you fill out the applications and show you how the industry works. If you can get a couple of years of that under your belt, then you're much more likely to get an insurance company to appoint you to sell their policies.

How to be auto insurance agent that sells more than 1 brand of auto insurance product?

We Answered:

First, get training and get Licensed to sell insurance. There is a license exam you must pass in order to become a "Licensed Producer of Insurance".

Second, well...you can either:

1) Apply for a job at an Insurance Agency. Either as a Producer (not likely with little experience), or as a CSR or office assistant.

2) Start your own Insurance Agency, which is a lot of work and money.


Being an Insurance Agent is not the easiest job, and there is a lot of liability involved. So I would suggest working for an Insurance Agency, learn the ins and outs...and decide where to go to from there.

If you decide to just sell it for yourself (out of your home or whatnot), you would still be basically starting your own business. Being an Independant Agent is not as easy as going to www.gieco.com for someone, and getting a commission.
