5 reasons why it’s awesome to be an independent broker

“You must [have a] huge heart,” says Ronnell Nolan, president and CEO of Health Agents for America Inc. in Baton Rouge, La. “An independent agent/broker is the most rewarding profession, in that you are able to form new relationships, discuss health situations and help find insurance that meets specific needs. Being able to help clients save money, resolve on-going claims issues and service issues gives you a wonderful feeling — you have made a difference in someone’s life!”

“It’s something that is abstract. I’ve been told that one of my greatest strengths as an independent health insurance broker is my ability to explain things in ways that the customer understands and can make the most appropriate decision for them,” says Guy Furay, president at The Insurance Source in Greenville, S.C., about the mental part of the job that works so well for him.
