Securing the future
Article Abstract:
Life insurance agents are professionals in a little appreciated profession that is consistently misrepresented in the media or advertizing by competing professionals. However, the agents are doing a service for the public by making them aware of their financial needs and arranging a secure future for their clients. Agents need to remember the American College Professional Pledge of ethical conduct, to work for the clients best interests and to expand and constantly renew their knowledge of life insurance and related products through education.

The three realities
Article Abstract:
An aspiring insurance producer must face the reality that mistakes will be made, mistakes needs to be honestly admitted and fixed and, although the job will always be difficult, one should never give up. Unlike other careers, insurance agents receive job screening after they enter the profession, causing a 75% drop-out rate after five years in the business. Agents learn to survive by succeeding in the formidable task of helping clients identify and take action on their future goals.

Ethical distinctions
Article Abstract:
Ethics is not a clearly defined area because people must use their own social beliefs to structure their behavior and will often use a different scale to interpret the actions of another person. Therefore, everyone must be careful to live within the narrowest definitions of ethical behavior even when it goes against their best self-interest in order to avoid violating someone's understanding of ethics.
