Insurance sales agents, commonly referred to as “producers” in the insurance industry.
sell one or more types of insurance, such as property and casualty, life, health, disability, and long-term care.
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, NSC’s, etc.
