Welcome to Insurosity...

The transition from headhunting to insurance took place 18 months ago... It was a slow transition and one that just sort of happened by accident. The job industry was at it's worst - I started recruiting in the height of the bubble and did not know how to react to a shrinking, almost nonexistent world of recruiting.

AFLAC came to my office in May 2008 to offer "New Benefits at NO Cost to My Company"... After hearing the 15 minute presentation, I knew I had to get in on it. With the state of NY only offering $170/week for Disability, I knew that there was a HUGE need in the "Concrete Jungle" for supplemental disability. I had permission from my boss to work with AFLAC a few days a week, but after a few months I went from Rookie to Top 3 Associate in the state. I was setting appointment after appointment and turning appointments into clients. After 6 months of two jobs, I realized it was no longer fair to either employer to not give 100%.

I chose AFLAC and in February of 2009, took the leap and haven't looked back since. I realized that AFLAC was only the start... my clients began to ask for Group Health Insurance, and then General Liability. My policyholders started asking me for Auto, Home, and Life...

The President and 3rd Generation Sterling of Sterling and Sterling - a very reputable and prominent brokerage on Long Island - asked to meet with me one evening this summer and that's when I "culminated the beginning" of my insurance career.

While I appreciate everything I learned from the recruiting industry - I know that the Insurance industry is where I belong.

This blog is for anyone interested in the ever changing world of Insurance Rules, Regulations, and Current Events. New laws and legislation are being passed almost every day. I will keep my readers up to date with meetings I run, people I meet, new Insurance products, policies, laws, etc.

It is my hope that blogging I will not only teach, but through my postings, I will also learn. Enjoy Insurosity!
