Why are there so many insurance sales jobs?
Asked by Cam
I was a sales manager for 5 years and am currently trying to find new opportunities but everything seems to be a freakin' insurances sales person??? Why are there so many of them....and the recruiters for the sales people are like hungry dogs! It's unreal!

Best Answer:
Hi Cam, The insurance industry offers a commission based job, the turn over rate is astronomical. There will always be a open door swinging both ways. Have you thought of starting your own business? There are many opportunities available to you. Read my profile, I have over 35 years experience.

That depends on what type of insurance job you are talking about. I've been in technology sales for some nearly 10 years and know several insurance executives (sales people) that have high level jobs with salaries. However, most of the insurance jobs that I've seen have been selling directly to end buyers and are commission only type jobs. A lot of them do offer good residuals. But if you have been in sales for five years then you know as well as I do that if we are good salespeople we can easily command six figure salaries plus commissions. Why would we go to a commission only structure? I think they need a new comp plan personally.
