Stable Careers In A Bad Economy
Insurance Careers and Opportunity’s. The Best Kept Secret in Today’s Economy.
The insurance business is recession proof. People buy in good times, but buy more in bad times as they know what it can be like if they leave their family behind with no money. The insurance industry can provide many with stable careers in a bad economy.
As an insurance mentor with over 30 years of selling and marketing experience, I can tell that one of the most over looked career opportunities today is the insurance industry. Selling life insurance is a fantastic opportunity, but it does not fit everyone.
Teachers, educators and communication specialist are some of the best people to come into the life insurance selling profession. Why? Because our job as a life insurance sales person is to communicate ideas to people, as well as educate them. Plus you want to be an extrovert and not an introvert. Type A would be good also.
One of my best producers, a few years back was a young man who just graduated college with a communication degree. I never even knew they had some thing like that. But he just took off gang busters and was the top producer in our agency for a number of years and then he went on to management.
The great thing about this career is a person can build a fantastic career with very little or no up front capital requirement, and create a substantial income.
They can expand into management and even move on to corporate.
The life insurance industry has made it tougher for part-time people and the fly by nighters over the last 10 years. The Insurance agent’s sales force has shrunk to about 1/2 of what it use to be because of a more positive approach as to who the insurance companies are hiring today.
What does this mean to a new person? Quite simply, there is a bigger piece of the pie for you and less competition. There is more opportunity to build solid and stable careers in a bad economy with the insurance industry.
Today’s insurance professional enjoys the opportunity to work with banks, CPA’s, attorneys and many others to assist in their client’s welfare.
