John, every Insurance segment will work. Just don't think that the recession is reducing your clients spending power. This is dangerous for several reasons, but the glaring reason this thinking is a mistake is you will not offer coverages and...

2 Slowdown = Bag full of Challenges
Maria Colaco  |  Added idea  "Sales a challenge"  |  3 years ago
In the Indian Context Insurance is still viewed as a tax instrument and not as a need. Customers are still not aware of the adequate insurance they need. Most of the customers have purchased insurance to save taxes and not for the reason that...

I do not find it as a great idea to work on specially in a country like India because here people buy such things on trust basis. They might not be knowing the company but if they trust the sales person they will buy the insurance.

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.
Dushyant Hada  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  3 years ago
Its no doubt good option but its only for smart hard workers at initial stages, a person who wants comforts of corp. sector then its clearly no at front line sales. but smart hard workers always get success in insurance sector, so it is great...

The Americans are far more mature than us in handling matters of security and economy. They will put it back in place as soon as possible. But it may take at least a year, if not more.

Cheap lif insurance services are present in the market. These insurance are present either online or offline. But if you are really going for buying it take care of it. If there is a any kind of scenario of buying a Life insurance policy on cheap rates be aware. Because when a person go in for buying a Life insurance the purpose is mainly to protect his/her family when they are not around but in the case of cheap insurance these finances might not be of great help. They are not able to protect all the finances of the family . Evaluate not only the price of the term life insurance policy, but the insurance company itself. Try to find out the insurance agency's track record for paying benefit...
