What is the difference between Professional Insurance Agent vs Insurance Broker?

AspectProfessional Insurance AgentInsurance Broker
CredentialsLicensing required, often state-specificLicensing required, often state-specific
Work EnvironmentWorks for insurance companies or agenciesWorks independently or for brokerage firms
Employer & Industry UsageEmployed by insurance companies or agenciesRepresents clients, works with multiple insurers
Search & Comparison IntentCompare policies, coverage options, and ratesFind suitable policies across multiple insurers

Professional Insurance Agents typically work for specific insurance companies or agencies, focusing on selling and servicing policies for their employer. Insurance Brokers, on the other hand, act as intermediaries representing clients and comparing policies from various insurers. Both roles require licensing and industry knowledge, but their client focus and employer relationships differ significantly.

Is it hard to make money as a professional insurance agent?

Making money as a professional insurance agent depends on factors such as sales skills, client base, and commission structure. Successful agents often build relationships and obtain relevant licenses to increase earning potential, but income can vary widely based on effort and market conditions.

Why do so many professional insurance agents quit?

Many professional insurance agents quit due to high competition, fluctuating commissions, and the need for ongoing licensing and certifications. The job often involves challenging sales targets, long hours, and managing client relationships, which can lead to burnout and turnover.

Job description

A company built to serve you. It's your career, Shelter it!

We are seeking an exceptional entrepreneur to make a difference in Streator, IL and become our newest Shelter Insurance Agent.
Do you have a desire to meet new people, develop new contacts, and become known in your community?
Are you passionate about serving your community?
Do you want to grow your sales, business, and networking skills to new heights?
Would you like to do what you love and love what you do?
Do you have a desire to control your own income?
Have you wanted to start you own business but extreme start-up costs stopped you in your tracks?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, then you owe it to yourself to learn more about becoming a Shelter Insurance Agent.
At Shelter, we do not require a previous background in the insurance industry. While the experience is a plus, it is far from a necessity. Around half of our new Shelter Agents have never worked in insurance; our agents have backgrounds ranging from real estate and retail sales to education and coaching.
What is required? A motivated attitude, an entrepreneurial spirit, and skilled capacity for effectively communicating with clients in a sales atmosphere.
While some sales experience & a degree with general business courses is helpful, our mix of in-house and virtual new agent training schools, paired with continuing industry education courses, helps you build the foundation necessary to launch your agency.
At Shelter we do not require prospective agents to have capital/assets on hand to be considered for an agency. We do not "sell" agencies and Shelter does not "loan" money to agents to begin their business. We provide the opportunity. The only expectations are that you meet sufficient sales requirements and core business proficiencies. If you are no longer a Shelter agent for any reason, your financial responsibilities are limited to any unsatisfied bills owed through your departure. This could include advertising contracts, telephone bills, and utilities.
A true business owner's mindset is required to succeed! While developing prospects and selling Shelter products in your agency will be your main focus, you may also have the opportunity to bring on staff to help you perform general administrative duties and improve your sales.
If you possess a strong desire to be a business owner, a vigorous passion for helping people, and a desire to work for a company that strives to be a leader in its communities, then take the first steps to explore a partnership with Shelter Insurance Companies. Shelter has one of the top new-agent programs in the entire insurance industry, and if you are committed to hard work, we can help you launch your insurance sales career.

Shelter Agents receive a tremendous amount of support as they build their business:

  • Support to Launch Your Career
  • Unlimited New Commissions
  • Lucrative Bonus & Incentive Opportunities
  • Exceptional Contract Benefits
  • Professional Sales Training
  • Subsidies & Office Staff Reimbursement, if applicable
  • Computer & Technology Support

Shelter has a purpose driven culture that centers on:

  • Being a Leader in and Giving Back to Our Communities
  • Diversity & Inclusion
  • Financial Strength & Stability

Our agents are achieving an unprecedented level of personal growth, career fulfillment and financial success. Take the first step towards operating your own Shelter Insurance Agency today!

Applicants must be eligible to work in the United States. No relocation compensation.
