So that's where the money is.....
Explain P&C.....

Property & Casualty, you need schooling my friend. GO TO SCHOOL or find a broker who will help, or go sale cars

I didn't get any education in property/casualty insurance before doing the pre-license training and getting into working. I really regret it, but I really couldn't have done it any differently because I had to go off what I was told to do. For future hires (in the office I'm working in), I'd have them take some of the basic courses offered by the AICPCU (http://www.aicpcu.org) to get acclimated to the environment. I'd say that if you're brand new to P/C, you might pick up the educational CD-ROM that they offer, or Intro To Property/Liability Insurance (http://www.aicpcu.org./Programs/IntroductoryCourses.htm). The people in my office, and some of the company people I work with have talked down about the designations and the courses. The only reason they do it is because they 1.) don't have the designations, and 2.) people with the designations intimidate them. I have tried to learn through general financial planning books sold to the general public, but the insurance information I have found is WAY WAY off.

Look it I hate to give you grief , I don't want you selling cars. You need to hook up with broker. This way you can learn some in's and out's of our business. Then go take some glasses there ton's out there, the best for you is CISR course. Someday you can go after a CIC now that's big. B)
