If they weren't useful why would there even be classes for them.
Because there's a sucker born every minute - that's why.

First, good luck in your work.I just wanted to say that I have both enjoyed and respected the opinions that have been shared thus far. I personally tend to think that as a newer Insurance Agent, I would like to submerge myself in my business "for now". If i gain a designation along the way, kudos to me.
I agree with much of what has been said, and that is why I wondered what the general consensus of my peers would be. So I offer you my humble thanks for your time and energy in sharing what I eagerly desired most, your opinion.
If it is okay with you all, I will continue to lurk, and learn and will pop in with a question or comment as I see fit.

If you're serious about being a life insurance professional, go directly to CLU.
LUTCF is like kindergarten. Don't waste your time!
I am trying to decide if/what professional designations to work toward as an Insurance Agent.
This is my thought process: I know that others that are in the Insurance Industry understand what most designations are (ie FLMI etc) but do you think it gives you credibility with the average person? Do you think it could cause them (average person) to be intimidated if you have too many designations? Do you think it could be perceived as arrogance to have many designations?
What professional designations, in your opinion, are the best to have? (If you can provide links to the websites for additional info on the designations it will be appreciated).
I want to finish up my LOMA so I can get my FLMI, but beyond that, what would be good to have?
I appreciate any feedback.

1) Credibility with referral partners - attorneys, CPAs, etc.
2) Proper training should help you recognize additional sales opportunities and better explain why you do what you do.
