Insurance Agent? YES… we are.
We come from many different background & reasons in our profession. But only have ONE goal to help people UNDERSTAND about insurance, KNOW their NEEDS and own insurance to PROTECT their valuable asset when the life-risk happens suddenly.
There are sometimes, people look down our profession, just because of their narrow mind, says this profession only thinks about money or commission.
But let me ask, who doesn’t need money ?
But yes, there are some insurance agents who are irresponsible at their profession, only think about commission and no deep understanding about the products.
How about other profession? There must be irresponsible people with their profession.
People always think, insurance agents have nothing to do with their profession, have many free time, and money comes.
Let me tell you, our profession is having FLEXIBLE time, just like a businessman. You see that we only go eat and meet people in coffee shop or good restaurant. That is how we work.
