You get out what you put into it (and that includes attitude) - Insurance Agent 1099 Bankers Life Employee Review

Pros

You have the opportunity and the tools to create your own success. Consider it building your own business with somebody else paying the overhead for you. I just survived my first three months and things get easier and better every week. Are the clients handed to you on a silver platter? NO. You have to prospect, present yourself, build rapport, and obtain referrals. If that is too much work for you, you will probably quit and post some nasty stuff about the company. A good attitude is key. It is hard work, but isn't building a business supposed to be?

Cons

High stress can lead to discouragement

Pros

Bankers provides award winning training, an elaborate product portfolio and a rapidly growing market. They leverage cutting edge technology: contact and LEAD management, electronic business submission, an incredible proprietary mobile application. I have 11 companies I can be appointed with - making sure my clients get the best program for what they NEED. A great opportunity to receive great training, work with great people and make a great living, all for helping people.

Cons

This opportunity is just that, an opportunity. Those who don't take advantage of it won't think it is a good one. Even successful people deal with a ton of rejection, thick skin is needed. With a 40% closing ratio, I still hear "No" more than "Yes".
