    Hi Cam,

    The insurance industry offers a commission based job, the turn over rate is astronomical. There will always be a open door swinging both ways. Have you thought of starting your own business? There are many opportunities available to you. Read my profile, I have over 35 years experience.

    That depends on what type of insurance job you are talking about. I've been in technology sales for some nearly 10 years and know several insurance executives (sales people) that have high level jobs with salaries. However, most of the insurance jobs that I've seen have been selling directly to end buyers and are commission only type jobs. A lot of them do offer good residuals. But if you have been in sales for five years then you know as well as I do that if we are good salespeople we can easily command six figure salaries plus commissions. Why would we go to a commission only structure? I think they need a new comp plan personally.

    do no longer do a hundred% fee. it is so no longer nicely surely worth the mission and the paintings. believe me, i did this without delay out of school. it is not basic to plot funds and proceed to exist on a hundred% fee to your first interest. i could detect a revenues interest that factors you with a base earnings and try this for a one year and then look into Pharma revenues. I even have been out of school for 2 years and that i'm making one hundred twenty,000 a one year working for a drilling technologies business enterprise in revenues so in case you have an activity interior the oil marketplace in any respect your technology diploma could desire to truly help out. exceptionally with a business enterprise like Baker Hughes. you need to bust your butt for a one year in a revenues interest you wont like yet as quickly as you have which have you ever can flow forward to your dream interest. sturdy success and please do no longer conform to a hundred% fee it is like slave exertions.
