Life insurance sales can be a very good job for someone who is sharp, outgoing, ethical, and persistent. It is not for the faint of heart. Getting with an agency that will train you and possibly pay you a salary, at least while you get on your feet, is a great way to start out. How you do after that is up to you.
A career in the life insurance industry can be very rewarding if you have good work ethic, you’re personable and organized. It can’t be considered a job. It is a career. The life insurance product inventory has expanded over the years to include variable products and so you should consider securing your life insurance license and your series 6 and 63 to sell all lines of life insurance.

Life insurance sales can not be considered a job. Whatever the technicalities of your employment may be, you have to consider it as your own business. There are no set hours, no specified tasks to do every day, and no income unless you generate it. Life insurance sales can be a great career if you are self motivated and enjoy the business. If you are looking for a career or a way to build your own business you should look into it, if you are looking for a job life insurance sales is probably not for you. Good luck in whatever you do!
I personally don't see life insurance as a sales job. You should not enter our industry as looking to sell life insurance. You should enter our industry with the idea and heart of a teacher. Selling life insurance is one thing, helping to protect a family in the event of an untimely death with young families, large debts or key man at a business is something entirely different. You can make a lot of money selling life insurance and it is certainly needed by the masses and way under purchased by a misunderstanding public.
You will need to complete the necessary paperwork, exams and background checks, but more importantly you need to be person of character, morals, patience and certainly a great work ethic. What we as life insurance agents do daily is certainly not for everyone, but it is a great career for the right ones. I wish you good luck!
