You already know that insurance is a very competitive business, so how can you serve clients better and stand out from the crowd at the same time? Professional designations provide truly useful education that goes beyond your state's minimum insurance education requirements. In many areas, these classes can also provide continuing education, or CE, credit that you need to fulfill your state's licensing requirements anyway. Also, these designations demonstrate to clients and other agents that you are a dedicated professional and not an amateur. You will be proud to explain to your clients what those letters on your business card mean and how they set you apart from other agents in your town.
At the American Agents Alliance, we've partnered with The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research to bring members the opportunity to earn their professional designations at a discount.
Earn a CIC Designation
Producer Profile, a survey of over 800 insurance producers by The National Alliance, states that agents with the Certified Insurance Counselor, or CIC, designation earn an average of 30 percent more than agents that lack this designation. This coursework provides practical information that you can bring back to your agency right away. The five institutes that you can choose from are:
Commercial Casualty
Personal Lines
Commercial Property
Health and Life
Agency Management
Earn a CISR Designation
The CISR, or Certified Insurance Service Representative, designation shows clients and other insurance professionals that you have up-to-date knowledge and service skills. These classes are tailored to your geographic location and reduce the risk of having any claims against your own professional liability policy because you will better understand risks and exposures.
