 Hey, what do you guys think insurance agents make? You guys know I made 117 grand in 19. You guys know that there are people that make a heck of a lot more money than that. There's people that own billion-dollar insurance companies. You guys know there's more millionaires in the financial services and insurance industry than any other industry in the world. But what you don't know is, hey, Wikipedia says the average agent pay annually is $48,000. $48,200 speaks out. Glassdoor.com says $36,000. Salary.com says $49,000. Come on, man. We're better than that. We're better than that. We're ready to make more money than that. You deserve more money than that. You deserve a better life than that. You make 30, 40, 50 grand like that. Dude, it's going to be tough. It ain't enough, man. I'm just here to tell you. How does it work when you're an insurance agent and you want to get paid well? You want to get paid, period. Maybe you're at a PNC shop and you have a base and it's all about a commission. Maybe you're a captive agent. Maybe you're an independent agent. Maybe you get paid off of a large percentage off the first 12 months of annual premium. So say the client pays $1,000 that year. Say you're on a 80% commission level. Yeah, you make $800 that first year. There's also, and maybe you'll get advanced nine months and then get a portion. You'll get advanced nine months of the commission. Maybe you'll get some balance first-year commission. Start coming in once the client pays their 10th, 11th, and 12th month. And then you'll get some renewals for several years after that, depending on whether it's life insurance, final expense, Medicare term, it all varies. But hey, you want to get paid well? You need to know what you're making. Compensation is really important because if you're in a spot where you're making 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, even 70% commission, you're being underpaid. I don't want to get into specifics. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to talk about companies, but I want to let you know that, hey, there's a better opportunity out there to make more money. It doesn't matter if it's with me. There's a lot of other places that are just as good, if not better, that are awesome, that can pay you more commission. But the key is you've got to know. You've got to want to know and make more money. That's how agents get paid. That's how our salary works or lack thereof because a lot of agents are 100% commission, which is actually better, believe it or not. Some people aren't comfortable with commission. Dude, don't put me on the salary. Give me some commission. Give me a chance to earn some extra money. That's what it's all about. Agent salaries, they aren't high enough. Our pay isn't high enough. Your commission may not be high enough, but you need to know the ins and outs of how you get paid, the structure of it, and how much money you can earn. I know agents making $3.25 million a year, $1 million a year selling insurance, financial advising, owning call centers, owning agencies, building a team, whatever it is you can achieve it.
