Insurance agent,Financial planner good?
- Thread starter krafty
- Start date
U better be prepared to have savings of at least 6 months to tahan. Unless u sell to friends or relatives, it is unlikely for u to see commission for first few months.
good advice.
both career are good.
join a good boss, and find out which boss have the best records in MDRT agents productions, and also COURT OF THE TABLE, or TOP OF THE TABLE awards.
Go for a agency that have a proven record, and years of proven AGENT/FP training.
DO NOT JUMP INTO this career... if not sure, find out more, and talk to different recruiters.
be ready for no pay for at least 6 months, and learn how to do cold call, or sell to relative... and friends...
don't have big expectations of becoming a millionaire in 1 year... usually it may take at least 5 years to 10 years if you meet a really good trainer/agency....
be prepared to read, study, learn, from the best.
get the MAS Certificate of Insurance..., many things for you to study.
It'll be advantageous if you can get yourself to become a Certified Financial Planner, which consist of 5 major module if not mistaken.... (may take 2 years to complete, it's like a diploma equivalent... )
CFP may have a same equivalent to CFA, CPA...
and after all these, may GOD BLESS YOU, it's a tough job, why don't I sell you insurance instead?
1. my advice is don trust those who work for lesser than 3 years because once they quit your wadever plans that is with them would be dump anyhow.
2. don't listen to their crap, u find them only when you have excess money to invest. they provide sucky after sales service, and in their talk. they would say until u have a lot of money to save when in actual fact the more money u put with them the more risk u have because everyone would always need to keep some amount of money for rainy days. once your money is in the plan its lockup.
