Though I'm in the hypnotherapy field...
My thoughts is, insurance is not as glamourous as banking.
However, it is a field whereby you can start to earn your keep with
some basic certificates taken with the Singapore College of
Insurance or other relevant Institutes.
However, it is a decent job where you provide paper value
assurance services to your clients in event of mishaps or injuries.
Insurance is not only limited to health but also property. It
is something that everyone needs, including myself.
Like all other businesses, most imptly is the way you handle
clients and run your own business. It will be tacky, if you made it
so. You are not only marketing your products but yourself.
Think long-term prospect by giving your clients respect and not
pushing them. Once they are comfortable and happy with you, they
might refer their friends or clients to you.
