Question

What are the business and industry knowledge for an insurance agent?

Answer 1

Part of the licensing and continuing education includes overall business skills and concepts.  If you want to offer life insurance for business owners it is important to understand business and accounting concepts.

Learning about the industy happens naturally through trade magazines, interacting with the insurers, etc.  And of course there is a general overview of the industry in any licensing as well

The range of business and industry knowledge will vary by agent.  But all should have a base line of knowledge
