I’m looking for a career change and was thinking about becoming a car insurance agent. But I’m not too familiar with sales. How do you sell car insurance?

Becoming a
car insurance
agent can be a fantastic career choice! Generally, agents sell car insurance by talking with customers about their coverage needs and budget.
Agents add a human element to the otherwise confusing world of insurance. They make it easier for customers to understand their options and state’s requirements, and they act as the first point of contact whenever a customer needs assistance.
You can choose to work as a captive agent, which means that you would represent only one company. Or you might want to become an independent agent, working for multiple companies. Both have pros and cons, but it’s up to you to determine what you like best.
Since you’re new to the industry, a great way to get some hands-on experience is by shopping with the
