The job of insurance salesperson is a complete drag and seems to be outdated. The job requires that you set meetings with potential clients and then drive all over creation to meet them and discuss their insurance and financial needs. 80% of the time they cancel on you. Unless you live at home with your parents or have a spouse that can support you financially for the first few years, don't even bother. As I mentioned above, if you don't have a strong natural market (friends and family that you WILL be asked to sell to), you will be severely challenged. I also found the training to be completely inadequate- even among management- and frequently found management to be providing false information or ignorant of basic insurance concepts. Bottom line *(in my experience) you will work your nuts off for minimal pay. Sure the job has a flexible schedule, but you have to work a lot to get low to average pay, especially in the first few years. Unless you have the support networks that I mentioned above, I would strongly caution against working as an FPA at Prudential
