What insurance companies offer training and great pay to entry level agents?
I am looking to change my career and go into insurance sales. I understand that most are commission only, that is not a problem for me. I am just trying to find the best company to get started with…one that caters to new agents. Thanks!

Yeah, with no experience, they are ALL straight commission. You don’t get “great pay” unless you have “great sales”.
Every agent I know with State Farm and Allstate pay a salary plus commission to their staff of team members agents. Most also pay benefits that are rivaled in the industry.
your best bet is to do what I did. Find a company that is fairly small, a broker agency and use them to build your insurance career then move on. I am in the process of doing that now. I work for a broker that employs 10 people. We use over 20 different companies. I am salary, with no commission for now. But the benifits are amazing. First of all they (my Employer) paid for me to go to school for the 40 hours to get my license. Then they paid all fees, fingerprinting, backround check, test fees, transportation expenses, everything was taken care of by them. I had no fees paid out of pocket. Plus, they pay for me to go to school, the seminars and classes, as well as test fees, license filing fees, everything. It can be rather expensive, especially iff you are going for any designations like I am. I am currently working to get my CISR and CIC at the same time. it can cost thousands of dollars before you are done. Not to mention the costs to maintain your license. Not all companies, especially the big ones, will pay for all that. And I came into this place, with only telemarketing experiance, a bad backround check and no money at all. Within the last year, I have almost doubled my salary, get pretty big bonuses and reviews twice a year.
