Pros

Great base pay for start. Frequent training with the VP of sales

Fractured market. You have no control over the sales ( which is hard for a full cycle sales person). your Insurance partners typically struggle to see the value of the solution due to past experiences with other reps or based on client experiences from our internal teams.
