HealthMarkets is very diverse in the amount of insurance contracts they have which puts their agents in a position to be competitive across the health insurance market. They invest in new agents that come in and apply themselves and give them all of the resources necessary to grow their own business as big as they want it to be.

It took decades, but I'm finally working for a company that truly...

Cons

Selling health insurance is either for you or it's not. No one is going to do this for you, and getting started can be challenging if you've never been in sales before. Tech support should be readily available on weekends, especially during open enrollment, to assist with technological issues. I lost the entire last full weekend of open enrollment because my computer had an issue that denied me access to the quoting...

Advice to Management

First time in my life I only have positive things to say. Keep up the good work, stay relevant, communicate and be sure to remember that the most important employee in the company is the one who is face to face with the client and collecting payments!

Pros

Health Markets knows how to treat their employees. Not only by giving out cool swag but more importantly providing us the best products to sell our clients allowing us to provide exceptional service.

Cons

If you don't work in a large store front or big team you work alone a lot.

Pros

Being your own boss! As with any self-employed position, business can come in waves, you just have to keep pushing yourself. Once the momentum gets going there is a ton people to help and money to be earned. There is truly no cap to how much you can earn with HealthMarkets. The sky's the limit. Get past the learning curve.

Cons

Being your own boss! You need to be self motivated to succeed in life, and that's especially true when there's no time-clock to punch into or boss wondering where you're at. This career takes a lot of focus, dedication and a strong work-ethic which is actually a good thing. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it! It's totally worth all the effort though, I promise you that!
