Insurance Sales Agents

Individuals who help other individuals, families, and businesses select insurance policies that provide the best protection for their lives, health and property. Insurance agents may work for a single insurance company or may represent several companies and place insurance policies for their clients with the company that offers the best rate and coverage. In either case, insurance sales agents prepare reports, maintain records, seek out new clients and, in the event of a loss, help policyholders settle their insurance claims. Some agents also offer their clients financial analysis or advice on ways the clients can minimize risk.
