02 · The steps

From your course to your first dial, in order.

  1. Pre-licensing course

    Maine requires no course hours for life and health. Your New Agent Path still includes a pre-licensing course to get you ready for the exam.

  2. Practice test

    Study mode and test mode in Relae drill exam-style questions before you book the real one.

  3. State exam

    Maine's exam is run by Pearson VUE, and the fee is $80.

  4. Fingerprints

    Fingerprints for your background check, if Maine requires them.

  5. License application

    File your application; Maine's license fee is $25. States typically take 7 to 10 days to review applications.

  6. License and NPN

    You get your license number and your National Producer Number.

  7. Contracting, then your first dial

    Get contracted and appointed with carriers, tracked in Relae. Then you move onto a dialing plan and start calling.

03 · Your starter pack

The New Agent Path: everything a new agent needs, in one place.

Your course, exam prep, sales training and CRM from day one. Leads and the dialer once you are licensed.

  • Your pre-licensing course and certificate hand-in
  • State exam prep and scheduling guidance
  • The full training library and voice-recorded script practice
  • The complete sales CRM at your fingertips
  • Contracting and carrier appointments tracked in-platform
  • Outbound aged veteran leads, refilled every week, once you are licensed
  • Month to month — no long-term contract

Your pre-licensing course is part of the New Agent Path. The course provider bills for it directly, at a rate discounted through Relae, and that fee is separate from the New Agent Path. Relae makes no representation about earnings.
