Insurance Agent at Insphere Insurance Solutions

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Shady business practices encouraged."

What do you like about working at Insphere Insurance Solutions?

"You can make your own hours and be your own boss. There are no strict quotas placed on you."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you have an iron will to sell, don't mind a little dishonesty, and have no family or friends to spend time with, this job is for you. Remember though, you will have to chase management around to get what you need. This is not an easy job AT ALL."

What don't you like about working at Insphere Insurance Solutions?

"We were encouraged to trick people into buying life insurance and supplemental health. The sales process was shady at best: 1. After an unsuspecting customer goes looking for information online, we get their information as a sales lead. 2. Call them and insist on meeting face-to-face. If they ask for the quotes, confuse them on purpose. 3. Present life, health, supplementals, and other services as one large item. Only give them a single price, making it seem like they have to buy it. 4. Sign them up, and be sure it's done via automatic bank draft."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be honest about the job when hiring. I was told that we were going to be given people to call, we'd get paid twice a week, and that the pay was obscene. In reality, you only get maybe five leads. After that, you have to cold-call people and bother people on the street. Pay for health was not twice a week, but once a month. And payments seldom materialized, as you only get paid if someone qualifies, even after they've paid their first premium."
