spent commuting, and they have the freedom to
fit whatever else they need or want to do into
their day. They can choose the hours they
work….and don’t get me wrong, these agents
work hard….but it can be when it suits them.
Be sure to find out how often you receive your
hard earned commissions ….working from home
and being your own boss also means having
greater control over your finances, and the time
to pay attention to them.
So what’s the catch? Surely it is not all a bed of
roses? Actually, it pretty much is.
Something else you will want to look for, and
that you might miss from working in an office, is
the sense of community with your co-workers.
How can you connect with your fellow homebased agents both professionally and socially?
But, one thing that is important is to carefully
select your host agency to make sure that they
can support your schedule. Check out what they
offer in terms of training time, conference calls,
sales support, reporting, BSP ticketing, etc.
