SM A NEW AGENT TRAINING SOLUTION INTENTIONAL TRAINING TODAY TO PREPARE FOR TOMORROW You’ve been an agent for a year or two, the ride has been incredible! You like the business, the relationships and the challenge; and you suddenly realize insurance is complicated, confusing and sometimes frustrating. The Big “I’” Virtual University (VU) has partnered with the Agent Broker Education Network (ABEN) to develop and produce a 24-hour program that allows you to take control of your learning and make your professional growth intentional. Because insurance is so complex, you have to take control of your training - learning and professional development must be intentional. Simply complying with annual CE requirements or other such “accidental” learning won’t get you where you want or NEED to be professionally. This eight-part series is designed to allow you to “skip over” three or more years of accidental learning.
