Got to study for the license exam which is called personal lines. Find a insurance staffer in your local community who can place you with an agency to sponsor you for the test.

I would call the large carriers, Allstate, State Farm, etc. They will hire a new agent and help you open an office if they think you have what it takes. You can even buy a book of business.
I would pick the company with the best training and the best mentor/sales manager.
You go to your state insurance department website to get the information on how to get licensed – you basically just have to pass a test.
But if you have no experience, and no sales experience, you’re not likely to get a company willing to let you sell their insurance.
To be trained, you basically have to get a job selling insurance for someone who already has the contract. They’ll keep half your commission, but they’ll service the accounts, and teach you about insurance. DEFINATELY the way to go, with no experience.
