What does someone in life insurance do?
A person working in life insurance is not just doing a job, they are taking care of you and your loved ones. Life insurers help people understand the importance of life insurance, not only standard life but for other policies and additional areas of cover, such as:
- total and permanent disability, which pays a lump sum in the event of disability
- trauma, which pays in the event of a traumatic life event, including cancer, stroke, or heart attack
- income protection, which pays a monthly benefit of a percentage of the client’s annual income or a lump sum benefit, depending on the scenario.
The life insurer’s role is to educate people, and explain all the complicated or scary bits, to help the client understand that taking out cover is an important step in ensuring their family is looked after and any existing debts are paid off.
Other than educating clients, there are plenty of different roles behind the scenes in life insurance that can suit your personality, whether it be a career in information technology, broking, or human resources.
