Please keep the insurance content. I’m life licensed and just passed my accidental and health exam on Thursday. I love seeing female insurance agent content
Asking how much you make isn’t rude. It’s openly communicating and transparency is key to a healthy conversation. Also it helps lead the industry by example. If agencies underpaying see and hear that others make X. Then they will raise to X. Keeping pay private will just create a more savage workplace. Which can be toxic for those that are given a horrible pay % and commission. If an individual knew what a healthy % was then they could deny someone trying to squeeze the life out of them and pay them in dust bunnies
Asking someone how much money they make is 100% inappropriate. Not everyone has the same education, work history, certificates, network, book of business, etc. Not to mention every state has a different cost of living & minimum wage. What I make annually + commission in Massachusetts with my marketing degree, 8+ years of experience, 3 licenses in 2 states, multimillion dollar book & strong network I’ve built for years will never compare to what someone just starting out in this career can be offered. I’m not setting false or unrealistic expectations for anyone, ever. I’m never worried about what others make because I’m my own competition in sales. If someone can’t handle that then they’re working in the wrong position/industry.
Well now we’re wondering how much you make because of the comment you made about it being rude honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about it until you made that comment so now we’re all thinking about it, also people another channels do say how much they make so there’s that.
Agree, it’s not rude by default. I think this is a either a regional or generational difference because I would never consider it rude. Or asking someone’s age to be rude.
So so so glad I ran across this video. I’m embarking on a new career path, seeking guidance, and simply trying to learn. This was really good information, thank you 👍🏾💗
If you’re interested in embarking on a entrepreneurial journey, I can help you!! We have classes and can set you on the right path as an Life Producer!
When I first thought of becoming a life insurance agent, I basically had no idea where and how to start until I cam in contact with this company on Facebook. They helped me through the process of pre licensing and scheduling for my exam. I postponed and rescheduled my exam several times because I was skeptical but when I finally did, I passed first try scoring 90. I currently work with them making 45% . I started with 30% and now 45%. They also got an interesting career growth path which can help you become your own CEO. Supper excited I found them. Please do your research and get involved with the right company
When you’re just starting out like me, haven’t got licensed yet or even really applied anywhere, would you ease into it part time or would you recommend quitting my full time job and starting this job full time?
I just left the largest health carrier in the United States working too many long hours been in insurance for about 3 years switching over to independent broker. Big change
Would you say that it's better to start in a big company first until you're ready for more independent work? Kinda like being an apprentice at a salon versus going booth rent?
That’s helpful to know that a good agency will pay for your courses. I recently spoke to an agency and they said I have to pay for all of that myself- about $500. So I’m having second thoughts about joining them.
Hello, I’m a beginner to insurance industry. I recently got my LLQP license and about to get hired in an insurance broker, but I will be on my own and they don’t have a proper training. Do you guys know where can I get training for selling insurance? I want to know what questions usually clients ask in meetings and how can I answer them? I really appreciate your help
Hello, loved your video. Could you help me to know 2 things please: 1. How to find an agency in Canada that can license me? 2. Can I manage this job with another full time job?
Thanks for the valuable information. Can you please suggest few apps to help In License certificate preparation which we can listen to in our spare time ? Thanks
good day am a Zimbabwean with a degree in Risk management and Insurance, and a few insurance courses would like to apply for jobs in Canada .What courses do i need to take and are they any agencies that assist foreigners in applying for jobs there?.
@@deem.4527 soo I actually didn’t end up taking it 😹 but if I did I’m sure I would’ve passed easily😄! My advice is to study and learn the vocab cuz they try to trip u up w the wording!
@@ekg126 i did not sadly I had a few bumps come up during the process, which delayed it and and unfortunately got me a bit disinterested, had to go w/ my gut on what I truly wanted to focus on 🙏🏼
Hi. Live in Texas . I work with a company which is 30% for a start and increases as you climb the ladder. They hire agents everywhere across the country. No hourly rates. But I think it makes more sense than 9%. Right now I am at 45%. So do more research and get you companies with the best deals please.
@@olivierambebe9873 Hi I am in Texas also and have my first interview with an insurance brokerage tomorrow so we will see how their numbers compare. Do you mind saying what company you work for?
Really appreciate your knowledge on the insurance industry. I'm currently a truck driver and it's getting really old for me. I was wondering if there's any books out there that you recommend that can teach me the ins and outs of becoming an insurance agent?
@@melissaa8887 Yes, I can help you with that as well. Get in touch. You can find my contact info on my profile on the about section. Let's get in touch
Thank you for all your content. I am trying to study for my P&C exam and was wondering if you had any tips on study material. I currently live and will work in NH. Thanks again.
I'm in the VERY beginning stages of maybe getting my license. I'm curious as why you said that the insurance field is "exciting". This might help me to make a decision. Why is this field exciting? Many thanks! Elisha in Colorado
Property & Casualty and Life, Accident, & Health are two separate licenses. It doesn’t make sense to sell both, you either concentrate on one or the other.
@@ErinNogueira thank you so much for responding me...so I need to be hire and work for an insurance place first even if I never worked in my life in that area of car insurance ?....And that is my main question the place or department name or institution that I can get those classes..
I also used Xcel solutions with Patricia’s discount code “kinky styles 1980”. I studied 3 weeks and passed with a lot higher than the 70% necessary. Like Patricia says, take the simulated test until you make a score of 90+ before you take the State exam. My State exam was very similar to the simulated test. Good luck!
insurance your mum, stop promoting people to work as an insuranse agent. i dont know for yall but its annoying asf for me. i have already bought an insurance plan and that its enough, i dont need no side income i dont need what savings all that bs.
@@ErinNogueira lol 🤣 ...reminds me of that part Austin Powers where Dr. Evil rides up to Goldmember in his robot chair and says, "How about No!" lol...
Please keep the insurance content. I’m life licensed and just passed my accidental and health exam on Thursday. I love seeing female insurance agent content
Congratulations!!! I’ll be coming out with more soon.
where did you get licensed?
Life, accident & health vs property & casualty licenses are two different processes
What company will you go with or are you interested in starting up your own business ? I actually am apart of TransAmerica.
Hey I’m going to take the exam for insurance I’m nervous about the test is it hard?
salary transparency is a good thing to discuss, especially when making videos about careers.
$75k
Thank you! @@ErinNogueira

They need you, you don't need them. Truer words have never been spoken!

Very common with life insurance companies! Promise you the world but do nothing to help you because success rate is so low.
Hi , I just passed my P&C exam in NYC. Where do you recommend to start looking for jobs and eventually to become independent? Thank you

How do you bring in clients? A whole video on this would be great.
Just uploaded a video on networking!
Hello, loved your video. Could you help me to know 2 things please:
1. How to find an agency in Canada that can license me?
2. Can I manage this job with another full time job?
Thank you! I am not sure about Canada since I am based in USA. You would not be able to work in insurance with another full time job.
How’s it going with your insurance journey?? Super interested in seeing more! 😇🙌
I got an interview with Globe Life, and they said they'll only pay for half of the cost of getting licensed.
Is that a red flag then?
Definitely better than not helping at all. Did you end up accepting the position?
Do all companies expect you to sell to people you know, or give them names and contact info on them?
Expect you to sell if you’re in sales..
This is such an informative video!! Love it!
🫶🏼
Thanks for the valuable information. Can you please suggest few apps to help In License certificate preparation which we can listen to in our spare time ? Thanks
For apps I did practice exams and UA-cam I searched at random.
Is it possible to get the license for the person who is outside usa?

Good luck Tania, you got this!!!!🥳
Did you pass? How hard is the exam?
@@deem.4527 soo I actually didn’t end up taking it 😹 but if I did I’m sure I would’ve passed easily😄! My advice is to study and learn the vocab cuz they try to trip u up w the wording!

@@ekg126 i did not sadly I had a few bumps come up during the process, which delayed it and and unfortunately got me a bit disinterested, had to go w/ my gut on what I truly wanted to focus on 🙏🏼
This was helpful, thank you!
Of course!
Is 15$ hr with 9% commission on every dollar of premium sold, below or above the standard
Hourly depends where you live. I also don’t know sales positions that are hourly & not salary.

Every agency operates differently but a good one will invest in you!

What do you think about primerica
I’ve yet to hear something positive about them
Great video! Thanks Erin
🙌🏼
How do I become an independent insurance agent open to all medical, property, Auto and life.
Property & Casualty and Life, Accident, & Health are two separate licenses. It doesn’t make sense to sell both, you either concentrate on one or the other.
@@ErinNogueira Thank you 🙏🏿 how do I go about and obtaining it
Thanks for the info. Metlife paid for your education and certification? How Can I do that?
Id start by asking them
I'm a realtor looking to be an insurance agent. How are you handling being a realtor and an insurance agent
Left the insurance industry and am a part time Realtor. Would not recommend both, focus on one.
@@ErinNogueirawhich you think is better realtor or insurance agent?
HI..Where I can take classes to learn and work as car insurance agent ?
Every state has a department that teaches classes. I would get hired first & have your work set it up for you.
@@ErinNogueira thank you so much for responding me...so I need to be hire and work for an insurance place first even if I never worked in my life in that area of car insurance ?....And that is my main question the place or department name or institution that I can get those classes..
How is asking average pay rude???? Next video
✌🏼
Are you still a Realtor and insurance agent? Or just a Realtor?
Both ☺️
I have a BA in Humanities but thinking about going into property insurance as well as real estate
Did you make the switch??
@@ErinNogueira not yet. I am looking at several programs because I do plan on moving state soon
Hello what are some of the apps and websites you used to study?
I can help you. I have used xcelsolutions and passed within a week. Let me know how to reach out to you to assist you to prepare to pass.
I also used Xcel solutions with Patricia’s discount code “kinky styles 1980”. I studied 3 weeks and passed with a lot higher than the 70% necessary.
