Insurance Agency
The people involved in the insurance industry profess that they
provide security for a living, since their product is financial
protection in the event of a crisis or emergency. This protection is
always in demand, and the insurance industry is thus one of the
nation's largest employers, with over two million workers. The life
insurance agent collects monthly or yearly payments from a
policyholder; if the policyholder dies while covered by the policy,
the designated members of his family receive a substantial sum of
money. Sometimes life insurance agents arrange for more creative
benefits, such as college tuition payments for children. Ensuring
proper coverage for hospital and doctor visits is the domain of the
health insurer, who most likely works for groups of employers rather
than soliciting clients among the general public. Some health
insurers are employed by the government to enforce Medicaid
policies. Finally, property and liability agents insure instances of
damage done both to and by their policyholders. They must also be
fluent in the world of health insurance since they cover workmen's
compensation; an employee injured at work will deal with this agent
rather than a health insurance agent. Agents work for one insurance
agency, whereas brokers work independently and sell policies through
many agencies. Beyond this distinction, however, agents and brokers
fill many of the same functions. Each meets with potential clients
and advises them on the most appropriate coverage. When claims are
made, they have to settle the claim equitably for both the client
and the agency. Agents and brokers can be salaried employees of an
agency or, more likely, work partly or fully on commission on the
premiums they sell. Because most agents work on commission, they
must spend quite a bit of time networking and finding new customers.
Some large agencies cover all areas under one of the three
divisions, while smaller ones specialize in one area, car insurance,
for instance. Besides keeping up with customers and courting new
ones, insurance agents and brokers have administrative tasks to do,
such as keeping records of sales. Lucky and successful agents will
have a staff to handle these matters.
Other Insurance Areas
Occasionally insurance agents have dual professions-some property
insurance agents are also real estate agents, for example. Field
representatives attempt to generate new business for agents and
brokers. They conduct and attend insurance conferences in order to
remain fluent in the latest topics in insurance. At times field
representatives will educate insurers about advancements in the
field. The most prestigious title in the insurance industry is held
by the underwriter, who has the stressful task of reading
applications that are submitted by agents to determine whether the
agency should accept the risk a particular client presents.
Underwriters depend on studies done by actuaries that determine
levels of risk. Insurance adjusters are also players in the
industry. When an accident occurs, an adjuster visits the site to
assess the damage and determine the funds the insurer will award.
