I am interested in becoming an auto insurance agent. I want to do this part time, but I don’t know how to get started? I can go to school to get the degree to sell insurance, but how do you get the connections to sell the various types of insurance ?

this is the place to start. it is not so easy to get the good companies product lines. being part time you would have a very hard time to get companies to let you sign on.

First, get training and get Licensed to sell insurance. There is a license exam you must pass in order to become a “Licensed Producer of Insurance”.
Second, well…you can either:
1) Apply for a job at an Insurance Agency. Either as a Producer (not likely with little experience), or as a CSR or office assistant.
2) Start your own Insurance Agency, which is a lot of work and money.
Being an Insurance Agent is not the easiest job, and there is a lot of liability involved. So I would suggest working for an Insurance Agency, learn the ins and outs…and decide where to go to from there.
If you decide to just sell it for yourself (out of your home or whatnot), you would still be basically starting your own business. Being an Independant Agent is not as easy as going to for someone, and getting a commission.
