Hello, I am interested in learning more about being a commercial insurance broker/producer.
I searched internet resources and I have a beginners understanding of the business. I think the skill set I learned in the military and my job before the military as a financial analyst provide a great foundation to starting a career in this field. At this point I would appreciate recommendations from commercial insurance brokers/producers and their personal experience.
-Recommendations on books and resources
-Networking tips
Thanks and looking forward to the feedback.
Best,
Matthew Case
