Job interview........Does anyone know if insurance based jobs pay wages/ salaries or are simply based on commi

I keep receiving invites from a particular insurance company in my email address to call and schedule an interview date and twice now I've replied letting them know am currently engaged in another job but would love an opportunity to join their company. Yet I keep receiving these invites from their so called manager. Does anyone know if insurance based jobs pay wages/ salaries or are simply based on commissions?

Some are, some aren't. Here's a clue - if you're not currently licensed, and they're pushing hard, promising training, etc, then it's most likely straight commission. Mass mailings are almost ALWAYS for commission jobs, because they have NOTHING TO LOSE by hiring on 1,000 people! If they get 10 good salespeople out of it, and 990 bomb, no skin off their back!
Reply:Depends on the position.





Insurance companies/agencies can pay many different ways.





Straight Salary, Salary and Commissions, Draw (short term salary) against what you bring in commissions, And Straight Commission.





If you are just beginning I would ask for a salary for about (2) years and then go to Salary commissions after you get a client base. Many agents "fold" after 3-4 months if they are hired on Straight commission.
Reply:Most of these companies pay by commission. There may be a little pay while you're studying to pass your licensing requirements though, depends on the company.
Reply:The invites you are getting are probably for sales jobs and most of those pay commission only. There are many jobs within insurance companies that are salaried jobs, but most of those are not the type you would get an e-mail inviting you to check out. Some companies do pay a small training allowance, it may be an advance that has to be paid back, but for the most part, if you don't sell you don't eat.
