Well said John. Just as in any business there are good and bad. Good farmers....bad farmers... ones that make their living honestly..other's that will will try at every turn to "screw" the other/govn for program benefits they don't deserve. Same as in car dealers...implement dealers...bankers...welding repair ppl.. the list goes on and on and on.

I used to be a fully licensed agent... PC/Life/Health.. the whole shmear. Not an easy task or job for sure. What I couldn't handle was IF I made a mistake... I knew I couldn't live with myself for what I might have done to the family. I got out.. just too soft hearted. Not saying you are the opposite by any means. I didn't get the backing from the Company I felt I needed to do a good job. Read into that, it was the Regional Mgr that tried to have me be a door to door salesman. Don't worry about the policies you have in the drawer... go out and get new ones...premium premium premium was all he thought about. Push products regardless of the benefit to the insured. I knew from the start I was doomed with this company (it was a company with a farm org name behind it), with one speed ticket 18 months old my car ins had to be with their risk group. I couldn't even write myself....LOL. If a product wasn't good enough for me...I wouldn't sell it to someone else.

For all the nay sayers...walk a mile in the other persons shoes if you think they are doing it wrong. Many company's will sign you on... many are looking for new blood on a daily basis. They will pay you for a 2 week vacation to headquarters to learn the ropes. You only have to get the license...and to be honest...it was easier getting my pilots license than my ins license. Just be prepared to learn how to sell to someone... not what their policies are about. That's up to you to do on your spare time.

But the benefit to me over the years is this.. any agent I work with gets informed right up front I used to sell. You would be surprised at how different a few of them respond. The good ones have thanked me for making their job easier. And they treat me just a tad different at claims time.
