Notes on employment for Insurance sales agents

  • Despite slower-than-average growth, job opportunities should be good for college graduates and persons with proven sales ability or success in other occupations.
  • Successful agents often have high earnings, but many who assume agent jobs fail to earn enough from commissions to meet their income goals and eventually transfer to other careers.
  • In addition to offering insurance policies, agents are beginning to sell more financial products, such as mutual funds, retirement funds, and securities.
