I’m getting ready to open my own office this summer after being a producer for 4 years. There’s some great advice in this video, but the part about location was particularly helpful to me. A “perfect” location might generate a little more walk-in business, but nothing compared to what an extra $500-$1000/mo in internet leads would generate.
I just cam across your video amd you've got some gems. I'm a current agent at the #1 agency in GA. I sold over 2.5 million in premium in 2 years. My goal is to one day open my own agency so I will surely keep your videos saved. Congratulations to you and your success!
Great vid, Nick, and congrats on your success! From your perspective, for someone just starting in the health / Life fields, would you always recommend building your brand with your first and last name like everyone else seems to do, or would it be equally effective to choose a meaningful name and market whatever values along with that? Second, with just a few grand saved for advertising, where would you recommend starting- Facebook ads, T.V. / Radio, or newspaper ads? Thank you!
It does kind of matter how much you make because most people don't have the luxury to reinvest it all back into the business. Some of us have to actually spend the money we earn.
Hi. Thank you for the video, it was very informative. What company did you start your agency with? Is it better to start your business with a company like state farm, all state or what do you think? If you would please let me know… thank you 😊
Nicholas, You said that you needed your series 6 and 63. If you own your agency, where do you manage your money for clients? Do you have to get appointed with a bank such as morgan stanley or Merrill Lynch? If so, how did you go about doing that?
Love your videos my friend! Keep up the awesome work! I opened up my agency about a week ago in Washington and can count on one hand how many people I know here so this is going to be tough. Maybe you could make a video on starting out in social media with your brand? Until you mentioned it in this video, I never considered getting a mentor in insurance! I'd love to have you as a mentor if you're willing, if not then is there someone you recommend?
Captive agents want to make sure they are partnering with ppl who have money to invest in marketing and take a few tough months while you are building your portfolio
Hey Ryan, So every market/state is different. I spend 10k on internet leads monthly right now. Zero on mailers because it doesn’t work too well for me in Nevada. But ultimately, whatever you can afford. Keep your personal expenses minimal, and try all sorts of mailers, zip codes, internet leads, until one works well enough to double down on.

Hello, I don’t believe a diploma is needed
Hey man! My dream is to own an insurance company is it possible to own start one without starting as another companies agent
It’s possible man, lots of resources to help make that dream a reality
great video
Thanks for watching!
Curious as to why the cost to start an agency up has doubled?
I’m not sure to be honest. But I will say it’s 100% worth it
Captive agents want to make sure they are partnering with ppl who have money to invest in marketing and take a few tough months while you are building your portfolio
How much money would you say that you need to spend on marketing every month? (Mostly for mailers

Is there anyway you and I could chat for a few minutes on a zoom call? Just had a few more questions.
@@nicksakha Is there anyway you and I could chat for a few minutes on a zoom call? Just had a few more questions.
Nick, if there is away to reach out? I really I want to speak with you.
Hello, do you have to have a office or physical place of business or can you do from home or mobile.
It depends on the company, Some require office, others allow you to run business from home.
@@nicksakha what companies allow you to do business from home. As i think this is the main expense when you starting this business tied up with lease.
This is so real man I appreciate this... I'm nervous but one thing I know is they I can sell 😂
Anytime man! Here to help 🙏🏼
Matter of fact...think I can setup a video call with you and pick your brain? @nicholas
Is that much to go independent agency too?
Hi there! I've read it's anywhere from 5k-50k to start independent
You talking revenue or premium when you refer to size of business?
Premium sir
What are the step to be an insurance agent? What license did you get first
Hey there! I’ve actually made a few videos on that. Step by step things i’ve done
Do you pay 100k or do you have to possess 100k?
Just have to have it liquid
Hay quá
Get rich in 5 years is pretty quick.
It's a blessing! Thanks for tuning in
@@nicksakha absolutely. I recently got a 2-20 license and am just getting into the industry. Still trying to figure out the best way to get started
Too much talking and not enough info. Just filler
My dad fuckedup me
