old thread >>>2917589

I had several people ask about the insurance side (which is how I earned my investment money). I am an independent agent, that means I am not "captive" to any one company, i.e. I'm a broker. I focus on the Medicare (65+) market, selling health & life insurance, & annuities (a type of investment).

A quick explanation of Medicare. They pay about 80% of doctor/hospital bills, and I would sell insurance (call Medigap) that pays the other 20%.

People were wondering how I could make $150K in one year. I've sold as many as 85 policies in one month. Average health policy is $200 commission, and life policy can be anywhere from $500 to $2,000. Plus annuities are a lot more.

Any other questions about insurance or real estate? Ask away.

So a lot of people asked about how to get into that industry and I don't believe you answered. Most insurance agents consider themselves "independent"; who were the insurance providers that you offered to your clients?

Aetna, Bankers Fidelity, IAC and Combined for Medicare supplement, Foresters for life insurance, Allianz and EquiTrust for annuities.

I got leads from many sources (direct mail, door knocking, and referrals).

I sold in Tennessee and Georgia. I would go to big cities and work there for 2-3 days, sleeping in my car in Walmart parking lots in order to avoid paying for hotels. I would go in the bathroom in the morning to brush my teeth & wash my hair, change shirts in the bathroom & then start running leads.

The calculations could be true, but the factor, which is hard to believe are the steady clients.
I mean the market is full of insurance independent workers, and the job has a negative overtone. Because there many black sheeps, who sells the insurance which is good for their pocket and not for the person. And if you work 5 days a week this would mean every day 4,25 policies. This could be a good months, but its hard to steadily find so much clients, expecially if you are new in this field and doesn't have any reputation. How you find so much willingly clients in such a field for a year. I mean this isn't a niche. Or is your family so big. I mean if you could earn so much, i would't firstly doesn't care so much about investment, put it in safe stocks, bonds and work every hour in this field.

2.5K is worst case scenario, it's what I make after EVERYTHING is paid for (mortgage, taxes, insurance, repairs, property manager, capex reserve account, vacancy), and even then, 2.5K is a conservative number. I'm going to make more than that.

I visit old people in their homes. Maybe one out of 200 clients will come to my office. All you need to get an insurance license is to take a class and pass a test, one for health, one for life. The class for me was 10 hours a day for 4 days. If you fail the test, you can take it again in a month.

>>2929802
It's all about getting leads and running them while they're hot. 2nd step is making sure the policies get issued & answering your phone when clients inevitably call with questions or issues. Final step is delivering or mailing the policy & making sure to cancel the old one.

My income is straight commission; typically companies advance 9 to 12 months of the premium, and after that I get residuals.

The DOL rule is annoying. Selling annuities is essentially the same, only more paperwork.
