This your a business. Treat it like one.
You'll get out what you put in.
Don't wait until you're confident to start. Confidence comes from action, so just start.
Go for the no. Rather than setting goals for the number of yeses you want, set a goal for the number of nos you’re going to collect.
Your questions, answered (so you can keep moving forward).

1. Update your resident license via NIPR or your state DOI. Your NPN stays the same.
2. Update address in NLC, HCMS, SureLC, and with every carrier.
3. Request new resident state appointments and terminate old state appointments if required.
4. Check CE rules in the new state and note any fingerprinting.
Adding a non-resident license:
- Apply on NIPR for each target state.
Tip: Keep one master list of states and appointment dates to avoid lapses.
Use a simple tracker with these fields: Client, Carrier, Product, App Date, Draft Date, Status (Submitted, Pending, Issued, Paid, NTU), Expected Pay Date, Actual Pay Date, Notes.
Expected Pay Date is usually the Draft Date plus the carrier’s pay cycle. Example: if a carrier pays on issue and drafts on Fridays, set Expected Pay Date = Draft Date + processing rule you observe.
Review weekly: move Pending with outstanding requirements to the top, and set reminders for draft dates and 30-day persistency checks.
Use XCEL’s Continuing Education FFL-exclusive portal to see your state’s requirements and approved courses.

Set policy nurture reminders for draft dates, welcome calls, and 30-day check-ins. If charged back, contact the carrier to confirm reason and options, then create a recovery plan.
A chargeback is a commission reversal if a policy lapses or is rescinded. Reduce risk with clean apps, accurate replacements, truthful disclosures, and solid client follow-up.
Open a ticket with the carrier’s debt team, request a payoff or payment plan, and send proof once paid so vector removal can be processed.
