You get a interview to let you know what the job entails, sales! Sales! Sales! If you can handle sales then you must pass state licensing for PC and life. Then you fly out to corporate headquarters for a week long training about company. Then you have classroom training for six weeks are you are on your own. Must have money set aside for advertising, rent and all expenses of running your own business.

I would describe the interview process as Lengthy. However, the current agent picked me to replace him as he was being promoted at the time. I worked with him already as his newspaper representative for the local newspaper and he felt that I had all the appropriate skills and ability to replace him. Which I did and was very successful in doing so. Moved the agency into a new office, and grew the policy count. However, it is with regret I turned the book of business back to my district manager due to the fact I was going through an awful divorce which required my children and I to live in a battered women's shelter..... Overall experience the three and half years I owned and operated the agency.
