New Agent Onboarding

Your first 30 days at SoundAdviceMD

A documented checklist so nothing falls through the cracks between "welcome aboard" and your first enrollment. Follow it in order — each stage unlocks the next.

Stage 1 — Credentialing & Compliance

Get appointed and compliant

Contracting and carrier appointments run through SureLC, our contracting platform — one account, one data entry, appointments filed across every carrier we represent.

  1. 1.1

    Create your SureLC account & submit licensing / E&O

    You'll receive an invite to set up your SureLC profile — the platform that powers our entire contracting and appointment process. Your active state license(s) and Errors & Omissions coverage are uploaded directly into SureLC as part of that setup, not as a separate step, so the same documentation carries into every carrier appointment.

    Owner: Onboarding Team · Target: Day 1–2
  2. 1.2

    Carrier appointments filed through SureLC

    We submit your carrier appointment requests under our BBB-accredited agency directly in SureLC — no separate paper contracts per carrier. You can track every appointment's status (submitted, pending, active) right in your SureLC dashboard.

    Owner: Onboarding Team · Target: Day 2–5
  3. 1.3

    AHIP & carrier certifications

    Complete or renew your AHIP certification and any carrier-specific plan certifications required for AEP readiness. SureLC flags which certifications are outstanding for each pending appointment.

    Owner: You (self-paced) · Target: Day 3–7
Why SureLC

One profile, every carrier

Enter your NPN, licensing, and background info once — SureLC reuses it for every carrier appointment instead of you re-filing paperwork each time.

Why SureLC

Real-time appointment tracking

See exactly where each carrier appointment stands — submitted, in review, or active — without waiting on a status email from us.

Why SureLC

Renewals stay ahead of you

SureLC surfaces upcoming license and E&O renewals and outstanding certifications, so nothing lapses mid-AEP.

Stage 2 — Systems & Process Setup

Get wired into how we work

  1. 2.1

    CRM & phone system access

    Get logins for the client CRM, call tracking, and scheduling tools used across the agency, plus access to Livmor Plan Analysis for year-round, AI-assisted book monitoring. Full documentation lives in our Tech Resources portal →

    Owner: Onboarding Team
  2. 2.2

    Scope of Appointment (SOA) workflow

    Learn how SOAs are logged and how callback confirmations are routed to our compliance desk (Marcus) before any in-home or phone appointment proceeds.

    Owner: Marcus — SOA Callback Desk
  3. 2.3

    Meeting calendar & recurring cadence

    Get added to the recurring meeting schedule — weekly pipeline check-ins and monthly plan/compliance updates.

Stage 3 — Training & First Enrollments

Build the muscle before you need it

  1. 3.1

    Consultative sales process training

    Work through every stage of our sales process, with mock call recordings for each step.

    Owner: You · See Training Page
  2. 3.2

    Shadow two live calls

    Sit in on two live enrollment calls with a senior agent before running your own.

    Owner: Assigned Mentor Agent
  3. 3.3

    First supervised enrollment

    Run your first client call with a senior agent listening in for real-time coaching.

    Owner: Assigned Mentor Agent
  4. 3.4

    Full launch

    You're cleared for independent enrollments, with ongoing support through recurring meetings and best-practice coaching.

    Owner: You, with agency support
