Wanting to get out of sales and move on to service. I currently do both in my office. I've been in the insurance industry only a year. I got my L/H last summer and my P/C in February. I started working towards my CISR designation this week and am really hoping to make a big move within the next year, career-wise. Wondering if anyone has any advice on getting into service and account management, and any companies that might be more accommodating and accepting of someone who is still entry-level.

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?
