The AgentATM Qualification Standard

A qualified AgentATM candidate should:

  • Hold an active insurance license
  • Match your requested state and line of authority
  • Express interest in your specific opportunity
  • Complete your required screening questions
  • Schedule an interview on your calendar
  • Be replaced if their license is invalid or they fail the agreed requirements
