Vantaggi
Now that I've had a taste as an independent insurance agent I can't see myself going back to the 9-5 world. Have I made tremendous money in my 1st two years, no. Have I enjoyed the experience tremendously? Absolutely!! I know full well that this will pay off in the long run. Any type of insurance sales is a marathon, not a sprint. Anyone telling you that you will make 6 figures right off the bat is lying. (Although some do, but it is the exception not the rule. With regards to AFLAC, the team I have worked with offer fantastic support, product training, and leadership. They give you the tools, you just have to go use them. Also it is a great product
Svantaggi
There is no salary, no benefits. You have to get your own leads, but that is very easy. How you perform is up to you. If you need hand holding or expect a minimum salary look elsewhere but otherwise I do recommend AFLAC
