Pros

Set up your own hours, not bosses, make money on your own pace. Good as a part time job if you want to make some extra money and decide later if this is the your career. Good training. Good people. You need to make cold calls if you want customers, they wont come to you!! Once a customer shows interest you set up a appointment and meet customer face to face.

Cons

Commission only. Don't expect to get a salary otherwise stay at your corporate job. This is a very regulated industry and it changes rules everyday without notice so you need to be at training and product information classes all the time. Your manager is too busy making money so he/she wont call you to be on class. It is your responsibility.

Mixed Feelings

Pros

Learned a lot from association with a mixed group of "newbies" and long term agents, some who left the insurance industry and came back, and a few who were with Insphere for 5 years or more. A lot of exposure to marketing yourself and encouragement from a peer group. If you are new to sales or insurance sales and have no other options, it could possibly be an incubator for you.

Cons

Although they claim to pay the best in the industry, they are in reality "skimming" a portion of the commissions paid by the carriers. The "skim" varies, 4 to 5 percent "skim" on health commissions, 20 to 30% on supplementals, and 50 to 60 percent on Life Insurance contracts. In return for the reduced commissions, they give you some of their private stock which you cannot sell for many years until you become vested, and you cannot take with you when you leave. Since they will take almost anybody, sales experience or not, they have become an agent "mill" since there is no support beyond the free training you receive. You would probably be better off trying to get a starting job with low salary to learn the Insurance business, there are a number of carriers and agencies out there that offer those positions. You could end up failing as many do with Insphere and the suprise at the end is you will find that you owe them money!
