Insurance Agents work for different insurance agencies helping clients sign up for policies that work best for their lifestyle. They can work either one-on-one with individuals on creating insurance policies, or they collaborate with business professionals to develop ideal policies for groups of employees. Insurance Agents are often responsible for finding their own clients through methods like cold calling, contacting referrals and networking. They work to build a consistent relationship with clients by regularly renewing and updating their policy according to the clients’ needs and lifestyle changes. After they’ve worked with clients for a while, Insurance Agents will provide detailed reports on how well the policy is performing and any progress being made.
