Throwback: How to Become an Insurance Consultant

35 minutes

I know, I know. This is a different kind of episode than you're used to. But, it just might be one that changes your life for the better!

In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht will begin teaching you about how to exit the "rat race" of selling insurance policies and -- instead -- become a wholly independent, fee-based insurance consultant where you will likely make between $100,000 - $350,000 in personal "take home" income every single year. I've created an exclusive group with assigned territories and this is available for both P&C agents as well as EB agents. If you're interested in that, keep listening.
