  • Is there anyone out there have work a Aflac Insurance Agent. Can you tell me a little about the process of become a agent. What kind of salary do agent make.

  • Answer:

    There's no salary, it's straight commission. And 95% of the people who try it, can't make enough to cover the licensing costs.

The salary is zero. The process is you get licensed and you're an agent. Then you cold call on businesses (the same ones that hundreds of agents before you called on) and try to sell them. If you sell them, then you get paid. If you don't, then you don't. -------- Thumbs Down? Really, for a 100% accurate answer?

I assumed you're licensed. Aflac is about the nastiest straight commission outfit going. If you love competing against your co-workers for a limited possible client pool, bon appetite. I knew an agent who tried it once. Quit after 3 months. It was like living in a dog fighting ring. You're best off with a full service independent agency or brokerage who can sell assorted types of policies with a variety of carriers. You have a better chance of selling something. Direct writers or captive agents such as State Farm, Farmers, Nationwide and All State can only sell one company's policies. If they're not competitive for that client, your client walks out the door.

Insurance agents do not make any kind of salary. Insurance agents are paid "commissions" (a percentage of what they sell). At other insurance companies, approximately 5% of insurance agents are successful and are paid commissions, and approximately 95% are not successful and do not get paid. I am not sure of the percentages for AFLAC.

It is great being an agent. I waddle around and quack at people all day. When you go in for the interview, make sure all your feathers are in place, and your feet are not wed. Salary is not bad, but the duck chow is fantastic. Good luck!!!
