Hour 1 – Core Ethical Duties of the Insurance Producer

Client interest as the producer's primary duty, and how conflicts of interest and compensation arrangements must be disclosed.

Unfair trade practices and prohibited inducements, followed by privacy, data ethics and the cybersecurity duties a producer now carries for client information.
