I’ve been thinking about which type of insurance is really the best to focus on in sales. Some people swear by life and health for building long-term relationships, while others prefer auto, home, or commercial for quicker volume. For those of you in sales, what’s been the most rewarding line for you and why?

Life and health is more relationship and if you are good with people this might be preferable. P&C is a non-discretionary product. People have to have it and it’s more “enrollment.”

Agree - life and health starts the relationship and can extend to annuities and investments.

Hi all - Soliciting feedback on comp for a new role.
Last role was an engineering manager at 185k, 10% bonus, RSUs, paid healthcare.
The first offer was a bit underwhelming. I'm trying to think of creative ways to respond with a counter offer. Offer is 150k base with 10k bonus, no equity or stock, and insurance premiums are a bit expensive. Base and bonus are what I have to work with. Initial thoughts were to give a hard "no" and continue interviewing.
