I'm trying to apply for a position for a insurance agent representative how much should i be asking for?
Asked by Padao H
I'm currently enrolling a class to take my pre license in property and casualty. I've been looking for job in that field. On the application, they ask me what is the salary I am looking for. One thing that concerns me is some agents pay only on commissiong, others only salary, and some pay on salary and commission. I didn't know how much I should ask for so i did some research on it and just put down the average making of a insurance agent representative. Was that the correct thing to do?? I wasn't sure how much i should of asked for. What is the asking salary is should have asked for?

doesn't matter, you'll get whatever starting salary/drawdown they give to new agents. As you already know, your $ will ultimatley be totally dependent on commission and your production levels anyway
