		<description><![CDATA[Great question! If you are considering a career in insurance sales, there are a couple of things to consider. The two most important things to know are that you are only paid when you have the application approved, and the policy issued; and that it can be very costly between the time you decide that this is your career, and when you are making enough to break even. If you are a go-getter, and are good at sales, you can make a ton of money, and helping people feel secure is very rewarding. You can also start making a profitable living very quickly. If rejection, long hours, and the lack of a steady paycheck bother you, don&#039;t seriously consider this for your career. The fees and costs involved in your training and licensing can also be tough, if you haven&#039;t got the money to pay for them, and to develop a client base to work from. I certainly am not trying to be negative about this as a career, ( I enjoy it very much) but I do believe in painting you a very clear picture (something that was not done for me - I had a very gung-ho recruiter who wanted money, and didn&#039;t particularly care about how he got it, or what happened to the people he made it off of). I obviously overcame that, but it would have been nice to know going into it what to expect.If you would like more information, hit the &quot;contact me&quot; link, and I&#039;ll be happy to give you more detail. Good for you, and thanks for asking!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a variety of ways agents are compensated for life insurance.&#160; The key issue is that the commission rate is generally higher in the first few years and greatly reduced in subsequent years.&#160; Other forms of insurance generally compensate the agent at a relatively consistent rate, year in and year out.&#160;&#160; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life insurance agents work on commissions meaning they are only paid when they finalize the sale of a policy (including the carrier receiving any necessary outstanding requirements to place the coverage in force). The commission is generally a percentage of the first year annual premium that an insured is charged. Some agent contracts may offer residual commissions for certain types of policies. Hope that helps.]]></description>
