Insurance Sales Consultant’s Role?

Print anything with Printful



An insurance consultant assesses clients’ insurance needs, suggests policy types and rates, completes paperwork, and reviews policies annually or after major life changes.

An insurance consultant works with clients to assess their personal financial needs when it comes to insurance. The consultant may own their own business or work for an insurance agency. Once the insurance consultant has a complete understanding of what the client needs, he will make suggestions on the types of insurance policies the client should have. In addition, the insurance sales consultant does all the paperwork with the client to establish each of the insurance policies. On an ongoing basis, the consultant also reassesses each client’s personal situation annually to see if any changes need to be made.

First, insurance sales consultants sit down with clients and go through a financial questionnaire. This is so that the consultant can know what the financial needs of the clients are in terms of insurance policy coverage. For example, a married couple has different insurance needs than those with children.

When the insurance sales consultant has the opportunity to learn about the financial situation of the customer, the consultant can make suggestions about the types of insurance policies the customer should have. In addition to suggesting policy types, the insurance sales consultant also suggests rates, deductibles, and other terms and conditions that the customer should consider for each insurance policy.

After the client and the insurance sales consultant create a plan for the required policies, the sales consultants complete the paperwork with the clients and send it to the insurance company’s corporate office for processing. The insurance consultant also follows up on this paperwork to ensure the process goes as quickly and smoothly as possible. The consultant will deliver the policies to the client once established, review the coverage the client has and answer any questions the client may have.

Typically, annually or when the client has a major life change, the insurance sales consultant reviews the policies that the client has. The review allows the consultant to ensure that the client has what they need. If any changes need to be made, the consultant will schedule a meeting or discussion to review the information with the client. The consultant analyzes all the changes that have occurred in the client’s life and then makes recommendations on how these changes should affect the existing insurance policy or policies.
