I’ve been doing some research and am seriously considering a career change to the insurance industry. I’ve read a lot about the different roles within insurance agencies and how they operate, but one thing I’m still curious about is the financial side of things. Specifically, how much do insurance agencies typically make?
I know there can be a lot of variables—like the size of the agency, the types of insurance they specialize in, and the region they’re located in—but I’m hoping to get a general idea. If anyone here works in the industry or has experience with insurance agencies, could you share some insights? Maybe give me an idea of what to expect in terms of earnings, both for the agency as a whole and for individual agents?
Also, any tips on what to watch out for or any advice for someone just starting out would be super helpful.

Hi, I’m not sure if you are still involved. However, I was hoping you could message me because I’m unable to message you. I could need some guidance since I am considering taking this route as well.
I appreciate your wisdom, Bronte4. It’s intriguing to learn how insurance companies make money. Considering the variables, the differences in commissions and fees make logical.
