Lessons learned from switching brokers?

[Jim Lunger]

Greetings BP agents!

After obtaining your license, did you start out with one broker and later switch to another? Why did you make the choice to move? What did you learn from the experience of working under a new, different broker? What were the similarities/differences? What value did you come to appreciate that you had previously taken for granted?

I'm now halfway through my sales licensure classes (the requirement here in PA is 60 hours), and starting to think about where I will hang my license. I would love to learn from any stories you'd like to share.

Thanks!

I started at a big chain, moved to a small place with 100% split, then moved back to a big chain. I find it much easier to generate business with a strong brand backing you. Going to the place with the best split I found to be a mistake, well over a $100k a year mistake.
