I'm an independent agent. My last job was salary + commission + benefits. Pretty good arrangement. Anyway, don't go on straight commissions if you can help it. If you do, I'd say to take a look at what all it entails.... generating your own leads is very tough stuff, unless you know someone at a dealership or something.

the market is SOOOO competitive right now for P&C... well, atleast where I was that is (Covington Hwy)...

I'm wanting to try to, perhaps, get a job at another agency at some point... some place less ghetto if at all possible, any of you guys have experiences in nicer areas?

oh yea, and as an auto/home Agent - EFT is your best friend! don't let anyone else fool you!
