I have 3 children and nowhere for them to go during the summer months, I live in a rural area in Missouri. I am a licensed insurance agent but quit my job in May to stay home with my kids and possibly continue my education. The continued education plan fell through and I am needing to go back to work. I have heard of many insurance agents working from home but have yet to find or get a hold of a company to work for. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Well, they do that by starting their own AGENCIES in their home, and going out and selling insurance, and living off the commission.
You can try to get an appointment with Progressive, they’re the easiest. Likely no one else is going to give you an appointment without a track record.
No one is going to HIRE you to work out of your home, and pay you a salary to do it. It’s not practical – an agent needs to be at the office to handle walkins and phone calls and marketing reps. Not to mention the overnight deliveries, and all the gobs of paperwork that go to and from the office. Plus, there’s a huge E&O exposure if you take hard files from the office – including mail correspondence.

Licensed insurance agent looking for work from home! Can anyone refer me?
Many insurance agents work from home but they need to be available to make sales calls. With kids at home that probably won’t work for you.
There are several work at home websites such as http://www.wahm.com that will help you find a work at home job is that is what you need. Read through the message boards and post questions.
This company will allow you to split commision with another agent that goes out and does all the work, all you do is send referrals in or however you get clients.

With NAA you can work from home but will need to visit clients in their homes either on weekends or in the evening or any other time you can get someone to watch your children.
I am located in Arkansas and can help you get started. Send me an email if you are interested.
