what is the difference between resident and nonresident license?

Can a convicted felon with a aggravated assault charge in 2002 obtain a license to sell life, health and accident insurance?

I have spent a day just looking into what online life and health courses are available for NC. I am familiar with the insurance industry but have never taken the exam yet. I need an online course with the Pre-Test that will help me pass the first time. I have 30 days to get this done. Needs to be online because I have regular business during the day so I can't take a classroom course. I have seen more bad then any real good comments about different companies. Need feedback from experienced professionals about 360training.com (same as learninsurance.com) also Kaplan.

Don’t be afraid of failure!


I talk with a lot of new agents that are so afraid of failure or trying new things.

The true is you will have to fall down a couple of times before you learn how to get back up.

In order to figure out what works, you first have to figure out what don’t work.

It is okay to create new ideas that other agents are not doing to prospect for business.

It is okay to go bold and try an idea that you may want to try. Sometimes you have to take big risk for a big reward.

What kind of Insurance Lead Generation - do you find most effective ?

is it offline or online created leads ?

All the best

The new Agent referenced above sold just life insurance products part-time for a period of 5 years. The agent now accepts an offer to begin selling property and casualty (P&C) insurance having no experience in P&C. What level of commission (%) should the Agent expect?

I have just recently designed a website for my insurance business. I appreciate your looking at it, and giving me feedback. It would also be nice you could click the link on the bottom of the page and give me an Alexa review. Thanks

Hi everyone,
I live in a small town in NY and have my Life and Health license. Now what do I do?
I thought I wanted to be an independent agent, but I'm finding it challenging. Which insurance companies I should try to sign up with? Which area of insurance I should focus on selling? Should I get a broker? How should I find leads? I'm also nervous about how inexperienced I am.

I am considering joining NAA as an insurance agent and was looking for information on this company and found a lot of bad comments scam related, but just realized they are all pretty old. Has anything changed with them or are they still considered close to be a scam?

If I forgot to disclose a misdemeanor which occurred over 17 years agao when completing my application will I be able to obtain a license? I went to the court house and the court documents were destroyed. I was able to obtain a certified letter from the court these documents were destroyed due to the misdemeanor being minor and such an old case.
