How do I launch an insurance agency?
Context: I just started a sales role 3 months ago State Farm. It’s my first time ever doing sales. Huge success so far, (nothing extravagant yet), but it’s only been 3 months. I’m currently selling 50+ policies a month.
I know sales isn’t everything it takes to start an Agency. Where should I try to pursue growth before starting an agency?
Follow Up Question: Is my boss hyping me up or is 50+ policies a month pretty good?

If you want to do full spectrum HR in Canada, find the Provincial HR association, they will provide guidance on certification (it is a registered profession).
Thank you!
What role are you pivoting from? Do you have any transferable skills that would make the leap go more smoothly? If so, you may be able to get away without any additional certs. That said, it definitely wouldn't hurt for you to invest in some continuing ed.
If you are switching from an irrelevant field, then it won't be easy for you to do without doing a certification. Whereas, if your current job role attributes match with the one needed in HR, then it won't be an issue for you.
In case, you fall under the category who needs the relevant certificate, you don't have to worry at all, as it is not as much difficult now as it was 10 years ago.
