Step 2: Get Contracted With Our Carriers

      1. Your personalized link to our SuranceBay contracting portal

    1. Learn about AML HERE
    2. This can be completed before or after submitting contracting through LIMRA
  5. Follow up with each carrier in 5 business days after your contract status has changed to “Carrier” 
    1. Verify they have all your contracting paperwork and that there are no outstanding requirements. 
    2. Carrier contact info can be found HERE
    3. Keep an eye on your email box for important messages and appointment confirmation from the carriers.
