Hello everyone.
I am curious if anyone here with health and/or life insurance sales experience has any pointers on getting started in the industry?

I have passed the insurance exam and will be applying for my license next.
I would like to pursue a full time career but am uncertain of a
commission-based position initially with no insurance sales experience or collateral to support me.

Thoughts? Recommendations?
