The Montana Market for Insurance Agents
Montana is a low-density Mountain West market where remote telesales gives you an immediate footprint without windshield time. The Price Group writes business across the state, with most agent activity concentrated in Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, and Bozeman. Because TPG runs a fully remote, telesales-first model, Montana agents work from home and serve every county on the map, not just their local metro. Final expense is the entry product most Montana agents start with because lead flow is consistent and average premium fits a wide range of senior budgets, and term, whole life, and Medicare Supplement cross-sells follow naturally as the book matures.

Do I need to be a Montana resident to get a Montana life insurance license?
No. Montana issues non-resident licenses to agents already licensed in good standing in their home state. The non-resident application is filed through NIPR with no additional Montana pre-licensing required.
Which Montana license should I get for selling final expense and term life?
The Montana Life Producer (Life-Only) license is the minimum required to sell life insurance, including final expense and term/whole life. If you also want to sell Medicare Supplement or under-65 health, you can either take a combined Life & Health course up front or add the Health line later. TPG agents typically start Life-Only and add Health when they are ready.
