Pros

You get a position if you pass the state insurance exam but that doesn't mean you will also great sales person. There is quick advancement if you have what it takes to go into the insurance business. If you can sell anything and have through knowledge of insurance, Medicare and annuities, then this is the career for you.

Cons

They say they will give you leads, but they are to call people who are older and turning 65 ready for Medicare who are non responders. The Leads they get from Internet and mailers are outdated and already have insurance. The commissions are very small once the company takes out for giving you outdated leads and office upkeep. Your car will go through a lot wear driving to appointments that may not lead to sales or no one at home. You feel like a telemarketer and a door to door salesman instead of a licensed insurance agent.

Pros

Bankers provides award winning training, an elaborate product portfolio and a rapidly growing market. They leverage cutting edge technology: contact and LEAD management, electronic business submission, an incredible proprietary mobile application. I have 11 companies I can be appointed with - making sure my clients get the best program for what they NEED. A great opportunity to receive great training, work with great people and make a great living, all for helping people.

Cons

This opportunity is just that, an opportunity. Those who don't take advantage of it won't think it is a good one. Even successful people deal with a ton of rejection, thick skin is needed. With a 40% closing ratio, I still hear "No" more than "Yes".
