My first 4 mo. with Allstate, I received 55% commission. After that, it slowly drops every 6 mo. or so until my 3rd year, when it settled at 10%.
You own your book. You can sell it to Allstate or another agent anytime you like.
You do not start with any book, unless you have purchased it.
You receive money for start up costs/ advertising, it varies from area to area, mine was $15,000.
You do have a 7 mo. quota, but it’s easy. I hit mine in 3 mo, with no prior experience. Upon which, I received a nice bonus.
All office paper, business cards, brochures, etc. are free.
Most advertising expenses can get reimbursed up to 50%.
If you have the capital to start an agency and are self-motivated, I’d recommend it.

Well, if an agent wants to own their small business, these guys (Although I’m not sure about USAA, I don’t think they work that way) are GREAT for giving you support, and how-to lessons on how to start an agency.

Obviously, they appoint a TON of new agents, and 95% of them will fail . . . but by appointing a ton, then the 5% that succeeds, does a good job.

IME, the people that succeed are the ones with prior insurance sales experience; the ones that get their license just to start the business tend to not do so well. Might be because they don’t hire the necessary support staff . . .

Personally, I’m an independent agent kinda gal. I don’t like having my options limited by the direct writer contract, and I’m not interested in owning my own agency. I *like* working a standard 50 hour week and coming home to my family.
