What Does A Life Insurance Agent Actually Do?

A life insurance agent typically contacts prospective clients, discusses coverage needs, follows up on applications, completes training, and serves existing policyholders. Independent agents also manage their schedules, track leads, and stay current on licensing and carrier requirements.
