A job as a insurance agent

Suffocate SG

Do you think it is possible to carve out a career as a insurance agent?

When you walk on the streets you see alot of insurance agents approaching people to buy insurance from them. But many of these passerby don't even want to listen to them and they will just shake their head and quickly walk away.

Moreover, the average worker in singapore probably will only buy 1 or 2 insurance policy in their entire life and it will probably be a cheap one too maybe $50 to $200 premium a month.

well property looks more viable..it depends on yourself..do you know yourself??an average person in sg does not just buy one or two policy in his or her life time..this is a misconception..

It is possible, in any profession. If you are reluntant to try and just want the fastest way to the top, try robbing a bank.

Foreigners come here to work for 1 or 2 years than go back why will they want to buy insurance for such a short time..

definitely! a few of my frens are in the insurance industry and they are doing so well. I heard from them that selling insurance is not difficult..the difficult part is to get yourself disiciplined and follow the working time-table. Their lifestyle also changed....from going overseas every year which is fully paid by the company to changing their cars every few years. *envious*
