How Getting Paid Works

According to InVida, new insurance agents can expect to make between $65,000 and $100,000 or more in the first year. Earnings are 100% commission based, which is typical for most insurance agencies. 

Agents’ commissions come directly from the insurance carriers. Some of them pay daily while others provide weekly pay. 

In addition to commissions, InVida has a monthly bonus program, overrides (commission of sales of the entire team’s production), and other incentives. Besides, they offer new agents a Quick Start and Fast Track program in the first 30 days that can allow for a 15% pay raise. 

Furthermore, InVida allows agents to own their book of business from day one. You can read more about what that means below. 

They also provide extensive step-by-step training for new agents to help them grow their customers and business, as well as agent back-office support. Hudgins himself is actively involved in many educational and training programs.

Is It A Scam, MLM, Pyramid Scheme?

InVida is an insurance agency with a long experience and a good reputation in the industry. It is not a multi level marketing (MLM) or pyramid scheme based company. 

My Thoughts

Now that we’ve seen how selling with InVida Financial Network works, I’d like to offer you my perspective on insurance sales as an experienced agency owner. 

Vesting and releases

Vesting in insurance means that you own your book of business. In other words, you own all the insurance policies you sold and continue getting a commission on renewals even after you leave the agency. 

Many insurance companies require agents to go through a waiting vesting period and then let go of them before the period ends. Others simply don’t allow agents to own their book of business at all. However, we’ve seen that InVida has full vesting from day one, which is exactly what you should be looking for as a new agent. 

I personally believe that agents who work within an organization are responsible for generating leads, finding prospects, and closing sales and should be paid any commissions in full. 

On the other hand, releases refers to moving your insurance carrier contracts from one agency to another. Some companies don’t allow agents to switch carriers over to another agency, making it more difficult for them to leave. It’s essential that the insurance agency you decide to work for releases carriers to you.
