Enhancements to SureBridge University

Enhancements to SureBridge University In an ongoing effort to enhance your training experience, we have made enhancements to SureBridge University. In the SureBridge University link found on the Broker Portal, we added several PowerPoints for the trainings in the “Sales Tool Training” program and “Product Training – Individual Product Courses” program found in your Learning Library. These PowerPoint trainings are now available for agents to download. Additionally, a Voice Enrollment with Voice Signature training was posted to assist agents who may need help with that process.
