Who would excel at an Insurance career?
Those interested in an insurance career need to be self-motivated and thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. To be successful an agent needs to learn the ins and outs of the policies they are selling and work to understand and listen to the specific needs of their clients. An insurance career requires strong sales and marketing skills to acquire clients and sell policies, but once the policy is sold there is little service that needs to be done.
There is no requirement for a college degree when choosing an insurance career however, an agent must prepare for and pass a state exam to obtain a life and or health license to sell insurance before he or she can start writing business. In some states you may also need to register your fingerprints.
How to start an insurance career as an Insurance Agent (varies by state)
