Fan O-Chen, a sales representative at Yung Ta Insurance Brokers, likes to approach people who are alone at exhibition venues and ask them to fill out questionnaires, using the opportunity to invite them for a policy review. During conversations, they are unwilling to listen to other people's thoughts and instead presumptuously verbally insult the other person. What a joke—who cares how long you've been employed? When the other person did not mean anything by it, they went ahead and picked a fight, lecturing the customer with their own way of thinking and only caring about making themselves feel good. Is this how your mother raised you? You have problems with emotional management, or does the company simply not provide training and only know how to brainwash customers? Pressure to meet sales targets is your problem. I've never seen such an arrogant sales representative.
1. The system is clear, and the advancement rewards and goal-achievement bonuses are all clearly defined. The company won’t play word games with you; you’ll receive everything you’re entitled to.
2. It doesn’t matter if you have no experience in sales or insurance. The company has a professional training platform, training and sales courses featuring experienced top performers sharing their knowledge, and an annual training budget for every salesperson. Professional instructors are invited to teach, allowing you to quickly build up your expertise.
3. I’ve been with the company for almost three months, and so far I feel that the atmosphere is quite good. The company provides salespeople with plenty of resources, and the senior colleagues in particular are very patient. You don’t need to worry about not daring to ask questions when you run into difficulties.
1. This is a new area of learning, so you need to be self-disciplined and manage your time well. You must also have perseverance and determination; otherwise, you may fall behind or even give up.
2. Your finances may be less stable at first, so you’ll need some savings to balance out your income.
3. This is a customer-first industry, and sometimes you also need to handle customer issues on weekends.
1. You can control and arrange your own working hours.
2. The promotion system is clearer than those of many insurance brokerage companies.
3. There are many business bonus programs—meeting the requirements can bring in quite a bit of additional income.
I applied for a position in insurance brokerage sales. The company also frequently holds achievement-based reward programs, allowing new sales representatives to increase their income by reaching targets (they’re not very difficult—I received achievement rewards during my first three months). But for me, the biggest advantage is being able to control my own working hours.
Finally, the promotion system here really is much more transparent than those of many other insurance brokerage companies. They don’t say one thing and do another or make empty promises. There are also many financial seminars and training programs where you can build your professional capabilities.
1. There is performance pressure, so you really need to have good self-management skills.
2. Building a client base in the early stages requires a period of cultivation, so it’s best to be mentally prepared to lay a solid foundation and strengthen your professional capabilities.
3. When you first join the company, it’s recommended that you build good relationships with the people around you, as this will make it easier to receive help from your colleagues.
Administrative staff
The base salary is low, but there is a four-month year-end bonus and travel allowance.
However, there are many long-serving employees, making promotion difficult.
