It really depends. Just starting out in your first year probably about 30-40 thousand. Many established reps make well over 100,000. It will be easier if you can sell other products as well. Disability, long term care etc...

I've been an agent for 29 years so maybe I can help.  \n\nFirst off, make sure you know all the ins and outs of your products.  Then, you want to sell to the need.  You need to make the client see and understand why they need the insurance.  Use needs analysis tools that they have to fill out.  When selling to couples, sell to the survivor.  They are the ones who will be left behind.  Sometimes you may start off just selling one particular need, foe example mortgage protection, other times the entire family need.\n\nNever try to over sell them.  It's always good to find out what they can afford first.  Find a plan that best fits their budget.  \n\nLead your client to the yes decision.  Ask questions that have yes answers, for example, "Mr. Client, if you were to die tomorrow, you'd want your family to remain in their home wouldn't you?."\n\nLike everything else, it take practice.  Do a lot of role playing.  Practice handling objections.

The person above me is correct, there is not a chance any funeral director simply working for someone is going to make six figures.  He is also correct about $85,000 being the max no matter where!  The average salary is around $47,000 per year.

You may contact the office of any of the general insurance company's in your area and ask them if they are recruiting agents. Now there are pvt general insurance cos, other than the govt Co's. If they are recruiting then you may apply. Most of the Co's offer free training while some may charge about Rs.1000 -1500 for a 15 day course (100 hours) from IRDA (Insurance Regulatory Development Authority). At the end of the course u have to appear for an exam - it may be on line - and pass the exam. If u pass the exam you'll be issued a license by IRDA for a period of three years (u have to renew after 3 years appearing again for an exam). \n\nYou can also take a combined license, i.e., one for Life Insurance and one for General Insurance. You have to appear for 150 hrs training if you opt for the combined license. Pls note that you can't be an agent for more then one Life and one General Insurance Co., \n\nAll the best..

The typical starting compensation for a new copier salesperson is usually $18,000 a year and 30-40% commission.  The 30-40% typically represents the amount you are able to include as profit in the deal.  An example would be that you sell a machine for $5000 and the cost of goods is $4000, leaving $1000 in profit which you may receive between $300 to $400 of.

Yes, people buy life insurance.  I'm an insurance agent in California so I know people are buying insurance.  \n\nIf you are single you may have enough through a group insurance policy at work to cover your debts, funeral and medical expenses.  \n\nHowever, if you are married and have kids, you'll need to buy life insurance to cover all the above and the loss of income if you are a 2 income household.  Unless you happen to be independently wealthy plan on getting insurance for you and your spouse.  \n\nMy personal story as why life insurance is important:  As a teen, my father died and had no life insurance policy, or rather he did but cancelled it because he didn't have the money to pay. When he died, I was 17, sister, 15 and brother, 13.  All the medical expenses and debts went to my mom.  No inheritance for us, just a lot of debt.  My mom received social security benefits and she worked, but it was many ears before it was all paid off.

Average out of college bio/life science job starts at around USD 30K. Assuming you have three years of experience, and if you were working for the company, you'd receive a 5% raise each year for the job well done, you're looking at $35K as target range.

I have heard $30, but there is a large range within that number.  The article below mentions $30 also but only as an assumed CPM.

My condolences about your friend and her loved one.\n\nI’ve linked to articles describing how to choose a life insurance and how to calculate how much life insurance you need. I’ve also linked to online calculators to help you figure it out. Deciding how much life insurance is enough is a very personal decision – what’s right for you might not be right for someone else.  I’ve also linked to an article about what to look for in renewable term life insurance.\n\nYour concentration on the life insurance company is a good idea, since your life or disability policy will only be as solid as the financial strength of the insurance company you choose.

Number 1 problem: The number of life insurance agents has declined over the years for majority of the companies.\n\nNumber 2: Largest market in America is middle-income families. Majority of the middle class believe they can't afford it.\n\nNumber 3: Majority of people don't see the need for it.\n\nNumber 4: The US Government has sued many life insurance companies in 1993 for lying to the public, being deceptive, and not serving in the best interest of the client. (US Senate Report 1993). Since then, I believe this is why many life insurance agents have left the industry.

In California journeyman electricians can make anywhere between $21.oo to $35.oo an hour depending on the type of work and company he works for. A licensed electrician suggests to me that he is a private contractor. A private contractor can charge any thing he wants to., depending on the job.

At least $40 - but probably will make more because the insurance car company needs to make a profit.  If they are keystoning the amount to pay for the car would be $80 as a premium.

Commission rates vary in different industries and even in different products. The amounts are typically determined by business owners based on their experience of how many "units" an average sales person can sell in an average work period (ie. 40 hour week). The determined amount is designed to be only enough to keep the average sales person on the job. For the business owner to pay any more would be viewed as giving away profits. If you are a better that average sales person, you may do well in that position. If you are only average in sales ability, you will probably make only a living wage. Of course that living wage only continues as long as you keep showing up to work. \n\nIf you really want to make the really big bucks you need to learn how to be the business owner. I teach people how to do that. Its way easier than you might think. When the boss goes on a long vacation, does the company still make money? That is what you need. A company that will still make you money when you are not even there. If you have about five years, I can show you how. Of course you will earn as you learn. Together we can make this happen, but only if you want it bad enough! Write to Bruce at boatclub@go.com
