Is it right for me?

If you are seeking a rewarding career and want to help people at the same time, you may want to consider being an independent agent. An insurance agent is part salesperson, part advisor, and often a personal friend of the customer. In fact, many people stay with the same agent their whole life.

As an independent agent, you will:

1. Work with people and the latest technology;
2. Use all of your ability to "make it on your own" instead of trying to climb a corporate ladder;
3. Be your own boss without working alone;
4. Rely upon your own initiative;
5. Travel locally and regionally to make personal contacts.

If you're thinking about a career in the insurance industry and want to know more about the American Agency System, contact your local independent agent for advice. Chances are he or she would be happy to meet with you personally and discuss the opportunities within the independent agency system. There is a need for talented young people to be the future force of the insurance industry.
