Yes insurance sales in India do have a future. All those are are against the concept of sale of insurance are the one who are them self from the same industry. Its not that the industry have failed they are reflecting there own frustation. Insurance sale was never easy at the first place. But its the most rewarding and has the max job opening and growth. But it need a lot of hard work and determination. Dr. never recomend to go for the insurance sales job its by choice then why grudge about it. ENJOY SALES.

I Agree, the start of a career in Insurance would be the right one because at this point of time even though it appears to be difficult but would pay you later. The present crisis is not the last and final of its kind , as many of the prominent economists experienced such crises in the last entury and predicts that the meltdown is a part of the "Cycle".Hence the future opportunities in this segment would be plenty which freshers or non-insurance experiened personnel might not fit into the slots.

Yes,
Because it is the sector where you do not have to sell by saying the quality of product but you have to sell by giving fear of death(which people generally do not like). Facts and figure says a lot of potential is present in this area.

Agree with you nishaanth,there are a number of options to choose from for a career in Insurance.
An insurance company will have openings in the marketing, distribution,
actuarial, underwriting, operations and investing departments. Though some
jobs like investing, marketing and distribution are the same in any other
industry, actuarial and underwriting jobs are exclusive to the insurance
industry.

I think from above statement he meant to say that selling Insurance is bit difficult because when you sell it the buyer get only a leaf of paper in his hand and not any product. And after seeing the collapse of giants like AIG people are skeptical to put their money into it.

I think to start with it is a very good option. It can be difficult to sell but once this is clicked any kind of selling job would be more easy.

It hinges upon how you want to take it-from the point of company or the salesperson.See,insurance is still in its evolution phase with growth of approximately 14% percent per year and only 4% of the insurance sector is organised.All this makes indian insurance sector an enfant one being managed very badly and worst the salesperson though get commission but their work life is so hectic and viciously bad.Refroming of the sector will make it a lucrative one unless it will remain a fish market

Now is the time cultivate our advisor for Tradidtional plans have Long life in life insurance buisiness... (of course easier Said than done)

i strongly oppose oz i have worked in that industry.most probably industry hire the people to get business from their relatives and friends.i don't think it will last for long standing.further i found more MBA students are hired on campus recruitment.for those people i can tell onething whereever u go for work,u need to learn something like slaes tricks,marketing plans.even 10 th failed person can take business from friends or relatives.why such MBA professionals are needed.they are professionals.don't waste their future.money is not the only thing.learning from the industry is important forthe future carrier.

Its not a Good option at all to start a career in sales with insurance products or any financial products during this downturn.
I do agree with Mr.kumar that selling insurance products is tougher job
especially the ULIP one due to the market situation and if one starts with these product and ends up selling none at the end of day. He/she (most of them) may lose interest completely in sales...

I do not find it as a great idea to start your carrier with. Sales of any kind would be appropriate for starting the carrier. Its not confined to Insurance only.
