For New Agents
Start Your Insurance Careerthe Right Way.
Most new agents start at MLM agencies because that's where the recruiting happens. Don't make that mistake. Start with top-level contracts, real training, and a mentor who actually wants you to succeed.
Why Start Here
What Most New Agents Don't Know (Until It's Too Late)
The MLM agencies recruit aggressively because they need a constant flow of new agents. Most new agents don't realize they're starting at 60-70% commission when they could start at 100%+. They don't realize their "training" is mostly about recruiting. And they don't realize that when they leave (and most do), they leave with nothing.
Starting with Darin's agency means starting with top-level contracts, real product training, and a mentor who has a scientific understanding of the market you'll be serving. The difference in your first-year income alone can be $20,000-$40,000.
