Looking for a way to advance your career? Don’t underestimate the value of professional designations. For producers, the knowledge gained from the credentialing process can convert to more (and bigger) sales. Additionally, professional designations may exempt you from continuing education requirements, and even pre-licensing course requirements, for certain examinations.
For producers and compliance professionals alike, professional designations also show your commitment to your insurance career. Furthermore, they can open doors to a new job or promotion to a leadership role with your current agency. Your company may even be willing to pick up some or all of the costs!
