Aviza, my son is an insurance broker with his own agency now and he belongs to a businessmen's breakfast club. They meet together once a week and share contacts, ideas, etc. I know they have such clubs for both genders. He's been part of the club since he was just selling too, 10-15 years.

I'd look around for such a club or contact other insurance people in the area, especially those who work alone/at home if I could and start one for some good support. But having a club with business people selling all different sorts of things is great for ideas; what works in car sales might be a good idea for insurance sales.

Do you know about Zig Ziglar and his books? http://www.ziglar.com/shop/index.php/cPath/21 I love reading his and other such books (I notice he has others on this list; I'd go to the library first, they'll have his older books) and I'm not even in sales :-)
