Hey …
I need advice. My agent is retiring, and the company wants me to take over. The deal is 30% commission on new business, no renewals, no base pay. Benefits are meh. I’ve managed the $6M book myself, and they’ll hire service help. Update: they now offer 10% commercial, personal lines go to the house. Thoughts? Awaiting your response…
Does this agent role fit into your long-term career plans? Do your strengths and interests align with what the job requires?
Are you passionate about the industry or product you’ll be representing?
Do the company’s values and work environment align with yours?
Is the compensation package, including salary, benefits, and commission, competitive?
Will the company provide enough resources to help you succeed in the role?
Does the position offer room for growth and promotion within the company?
Are there positive trends or growth potential in the industry?
How competitive is the market, and where does the company stand in it?
