Hey everyone,

I recently decided to close my art store. I was wondering a few things. The art gallery I had was at a very slow mall and I decided I’d start selling insurance. Possibly getting my license in other states as well. I’m studying now and I’ve taken the exam 7 times in early February and March. Couldn’t pass it. Sucks and it’s embarrassing I was hoping to use it as a secondary income.

I’d prefer to travel and do calls while I’m in the road photographing and when I’m in town Interact I’m planning to get 4 licenses, life, health, auto, home.

I’ve seen the commissions, it’s way better than selling art or martial arts ( I own a school as well ).

In order to make a decent living, what should I expect? My other business art and martial arts mostly do better at night anyways.

1. What are the days like what should u be doing?
2. Do the leads from your insurance companies actually convert ?
3. From let’s say 9am-4pm what is a typical day and work flow. What should I be doing to max my results in earnings?
4. Since I’ll be an independent agent will have time to be on the road and travel ?
5. I’ve seen insurance agents that have files on there houses for years. Is there a CRM for this? Or does your agency usually store them.
6. I hear the busy season for health is November ? Because everyone is renewing, would the other licenses keep me afloat ?
7. Once I get my license what are some common mistakes beginners do so they don’t end up in a bad situation ?

Thanks everyone.
