Anyone know where I can get a salary and benefits survey for insurance sales jobs?

It is headquartered in Chicago IL and has branch offices in IL, MO, IA, KS, IN, and OH. They have always paid a strict commission as a compensation plan, and provided health insurance for employees and families. The founder Mr. Bruce Burton recently retired and his new replacement (Dirk Henthorne) wants a recommendation for a new compensation and benefits plan. Your job as a consultant to his company is to recommend a plan that helps attract and retain a high quality sales force. First, do a salary and benefits survey (online) to get some idea of competitive pay and benefit plans. Then draft a proposal for Mr. Henthorne to take to his board. I just can't find any free ones online...

I am doing more than just putting resumes on-line; unless you are unemployed, you have no idea how hard it is to find work.

I got offered a job as an Insurance Sales Associate at Mass Mutual. Should I take it? Hi, I am 22 years old and I recently got out of the military a few months ago. Before I got out, I had $10,000 saved up to last me a few months. It's pretty much all gone now and I've been in need of a job while I go to school. I've submitted my resume in to at least 10 places (which all have to do with electronics like Test Repair Operator, Electrical Maintenance Technician, Electronic Mechanical Assembler. I plan to major in Electrical Engineering). I haven't gotten back one response and I am not willing to work at a fast food joint or retail department. A friend recommended me to his manager about being hired and trained as a sales associate for the insurance firm, Mass Mutual. I don't know a thing about sales or general business for that matter, but my friend ensured me that this is a good thing and that I will learn in the next coming weeks if I do join. One of the benefits is that I'll be able to pursue my college career since I'll be working independently and on my own terms. Needing a job while I attend college, I said why not. Today, I went in and talked to the manager. We ended up talking for over 3 hours. He is prior military himself so we had a fun talk. He wants to hire me as soon as possible. I don't have a college degree yet, but the manager still wants to hire me. Is this too good to be true? I met two of the younger associates that work there. They are around my age; both 23. They both have their college degrees. The manager showed me charts of how much Mass Mutual makes, how much a sales associate can make in a year and all the benefits the company provides. This all seems like an extremely good deal, but I heard selling insurance is one of the worst jobs out there. Also, if I were to take on this job, what is the likelihood that I would be able to go to school part-time and still earn at least 1 sale every week? I know this is personal, but would I even like it? I am more into electronics and computers. That is why I have plans to major in Engineering. Thanks. I'm sure I have more questions but I can't think of any right now.

What would be a better job choice: insurance sales or banking officer? I've been working in graphic design for 8 years and I'm looking to make a change toward a job that has more structure and that operates in a more logical fashion (too much subjectiveness in the art world for my tastes). I'm organized, trustworthy, and friendly. Not the most outgoing guy, but I feel for either job you don't have to be completely in peoples' faces. It seems to be more a matter of accurately telling customers about policies and signing them up after they feel comfortable (as opposed to "you NEED to buy this!!!" kind of sales). I have no prior banking experience, so I'm leaning more toward insurance. However, I don't know how the stress level of one job compares to the other, or what the job outlooks are in general. I also have no prior experience doing either job except for 8 years of sales/customer service in the graphic design field. There aren't extensive degree requirements for either job. If anybody has any experience in either of these fields and can give me some personal stories I would greatly appreciate it. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks!

The one thing that has me scratching my head is what is it about my resume that would make me good at sales. The only experience I have is in industrial jobs and security. What gives?

With M.Sc and B.Sc, should I accept a job in Insurance Sales? I got my M.Sc and B.Sc in Genetics and Molecular biology over 10 years ago and since then, I haven't really updated my knowledge. I resigned from my job as a lab assistant ($40K) 6 months ago and since then, I haven't found any job. I am applying every day but I can't find a job. I live in San Diego. I hate laboratory work, I have several years doing telesales which wasn't too bad. So on Monday I have an interview for insurance sales closer. They pay $1000 pcm base salary + commission, the guy said their agents are making from $4000 to $11,000 per month. It's an inside sales and they are generating leads through their website, so all warm calling. Do you think if they offer me, I should get it? I feel pretty bad because I studied something that is not useful.

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME SHOULD i LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB? Panama said that just because I'm a single mother doesn't mean I deserve special treatment...... Let me ask you something..... Do you have children? Do you have one child who has respitory problems???? Single mothers or fathers I believe do deserve a little bit better concern and privelage, we do not have that "extra" help...... Blah, some people just don't understand.... and I do work my butt off when I'm here. Wow sounds like I am just a sorry employee for giving it my ALL and trying my HARDEST.... Sometimes I wonder why I even try...... but all I can do is all I can do, and if they don't want me here they can fire me, they have never ever threatened my job, I just feel that after almost 2 years of this and doing my BEST, I should be compensated if I'm such a good worker, and they need me here when I CANNOT BE b/c my SON is not BREATHING well and I have to administer breathing treatments every hour, and i do not have other child care............ What do other people do? Anyone else w/the same problems as I? I mean how do you make it? How do you get by? I'm trying to better myself after being a drug addict for 6 years, and being sober now for a wonderful blessed 3 years....... Anyone struggle w/this? Or am I just a sorry employee like half of ya'll have made it sound like? I am partially licensed, I have to take the property test and then I will have both P&C. I am crossed trained in commercial and personal lines. I do all the quoting, claims, new buisness, payments, customer service, answer phones, file..... you name it I do it.

Can anyone tell me if an insurance sales job is worth it in this economy? I'm about to go on an interview for some large company selling insurance. I haven't really done such a job before so I'm not sure if this will even be worth it? They all seem kinda scammish as they require several weeks of no pay and I have to pay and get a state license? Also, will anyone even be buying much insurance until the economy improves? Thanks for any advice on this. Forgot to add. I think it's like property, casualty, life insurance ... not auto or health.
