    Insurance: another necessary evil?

    November 24th, 2007

    I was a part time life insurance agent many years ago when I first started work. I was no good at it, perhaps that explains why I never went full time :-)

    Having said that, insurance is something that can be perceived as a necessary evil, and insurance agents are sometimes seen as the devil himself. Something like lawyers perhaps.

    Whatever it is, I have personally experienced the great power of insurance. When I was a student overseas, somehow or rather I purchased a Home insurance policy from Endsleigh. A few weeks later our house was broken into with quite a lot of electrical appliances being stolen. Thanks to that policy, two weeks later everything was replaced. I paid something like 38 pounds for it, and claimed more than 600 pounds.

    Then 6 years back my wife was admitted to a private hospital with a serious illness. I had bought a medical insurance policy a few months earlier for a mere RM200+. Again, that policy came to the rescue, where it helped to pay more than RM10,000 of the final bill.

    Hence, I have learnt my lesson: get yourself adequate insurance protection, be it Car insurance, Home insurance, Life insurance, Loan insurance, whatever. You never know when disaster is going to strike, that’s when you need that policy the most!

    AN INSURANCE AGENT ACTUALLY CAN MAKE A LOAD OF MONEY EVEN TO THE TUNE OF A 5 FIGURE INCOME PER MONTH, AS LONG AS THEIR CLIENTS PAY CONTINOUSLY WITHOUT FAIL… LOOK AT MANY2 SUCCESFUL INSURANCE AGENTS AROUND US…. A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE IS DAHANIN GALUS WHO EARNED A COOL MORE THAN 10K PER MONTH JUST BY SELLING INSURANCE… AND HE IS GOOD AT THAT.. FOR EXAMPLE HE BUYS YOU BEER AT THE BEST KARAOKE OUTLET IN TOWN WHILE INTRODUCING YOU THE INSURANCE POLICY…

    ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE TO TURN DOWN AN INSURANCE OFFER IS TO TELL THE INSURANCE AGENT - “MY POLICY IS NOT TO HAVE A POLICY..!!!!”….

    Another favourite excuse is: “I am an insurance agent too”
