Do you understand the earning potential in insurance sales?
Many of you don’t. So, here is a complete guide to help you understand how you can make money by selling insurance –
Levels of earning in insurance:
When you sell insurance policies, you earn money in three levels or ways. These include the following –
First year commissions
The first level to earn money is the first-year commission payable on all insurance policies you sell. Whether you sell life insurance policies or general insurance policies, you would earn a first-year insurance commission on the premium you bring in.
Renewal commissions
If you thought insurance policies promised only a first-year commission, you are wrong. Every year when your customers renew their vehicle insurance policies or health insurance policies and pay the renewal premium, you also earn renewal insurance commission. This commission is also calculated on the renewal premium.
Rewards and recognitions
The earnings promised by insurance sales does not end at the commissions only. There is also a rewards and recognition program which promises gifts in cash and kind if you perform well and meet the sales criteria laid down for the reward program. Moreover, there are internationally recognised convocations which are held every year for the top-performing insurance advisor. These convocations recognise the achievement of leaders of insurance sales.
Commission structure
So, now you would be interested to know how much you can earn throughout your active work life… So, here is a look at the commissions which you can earn by selling different types of insurance policies –
.

Aren’t the rates quite attractive? Can you imagine how much you can earn by selling different policies? Here is an illustration for your knowledge –
Let’s say you sell four different types of policies to four of your contacts. Each policy has a different premium and gives you a different commission. Supposing, here’s what you sell to your contacts –
Name of your contact | Type of policy sold | Premium amount (assumed) | Applicable commission rates on commissionable premium (assumed) | Commission Earned |
Cust 1 | Term life insurance | INR 19,000 | 30% | INR 5,700 |
Cust 2 | Health insurance | INR 14,000 | 15% | INR 2,100 |
Cust 3 | Car insurance | INR 13,000 | 15% | INR 1,950 |
Cust 4 | Bike insurance | INR 1500 | 17.5% | INR 262 |
Total commission earned | INR 10,012 | |||
From just four policies, you can earn a commission of INR 10,012.
This is just the beginning. The same customers may buy a new vehicle and you can earn more commission. The premium on health insurance will increase as the customer grows old, again resulting in higher commission. And, not to forget the references from your customers, who are happy with your service.
Insurance sales, therefore, gives you an easy and an attractive avenue to make money. You can earn a handsome income just by selling insurance policies to your contacts.
