Division Leaders: John & Amanda Ruhlman
Recommended States to obtain Licenses
Obviously the more areas you can write business, the more opportunities you allow yourself. As a new agent considering adding additional licenses, you should know that there are key states that tend to have a greater return on investment than others, which is why we recommend focusing on them first.
That being said, John is licensed across the U.S., and can advise you well beyond this list. State licensing is easy to pick up, so do not stress about having a specific state if you stumble upon a lead that you are not currently active in.
*Make sure you are familiar with which areas have State Based Exchanges
Ohio
Texas
North Carolina
Tennessee
Missouri
Arizona
Recommended Carriers and Products
These can update often depending on how competitive carriers are being with each other.
We always discuss the best products at the time during our Friday division calls. If you have a question about your specific state you should ask it here!
You will also see under "Carrier Contracting" in your Agent area of the Back Office, recommended carriers will be listed as a Core Carrier.
We always recommend Package A and Package H to begin. Then move on to the others based upon your discussion with your Upline.
