How to become a life insurance sales agent?

Becoming a Life Insurance Sales Agent may vary by the employer and state in which you work. Most employers require candidates to hold at least a high school diploma, while others may require that you have a bachelor's degree in business or a related field such as finance. To be able to sell life insurance, you typically need to earn your license through your current state. Generally, you'll need to take and pass state exams covering various life insurance concepts to earn the license. Additionally, you may need to get licensed to sell financial products, which can be done by passing an additional exam administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
