Insurance Sales

Insurance sales is a growing field with minimum experience required

As the economy slowly starts to rebound, many people are trying to identify the best opportunities available to them for advancement. Insurance sales represent an excellent opportunity for many due to its relatively-low start-up costs and prerequisite qualifications. In 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 10% growth in the occupation of insurance sales agent, with average wages as approximately $23.15 per hour or $48,150 per year. Furthermore, the entry-level of education was a high school diploma or higher and little to no related experience was required. Again, those were 2012 numbers and not necessarily representative of current economic growth. Additionally, these numbers included many independent agents with no lead systems or pre-set appointments.

Why is senior insurance sales a growth industry?

Insurance is a heavily-regulated industry.  As you are likely aware, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made medical insurance mandatory for all Americans, but it has also redefined minimum standards of coverage and seeks to provide better care to patients. One way the ACA seeks to promote better care is to streamline the process for providing that care – including cutting down on administrative costs traditionally associated with multiple-payor insurance. Essentially, medical professionals will have to provide, and insurance companies will have to cover, the same amount of care for less money. Insurance companies will have to rely on independent insurance sales agents in order to control costs and reach many potential customers who now must obtain insurance coverage.
