You might know someone looking for fire property insurance for homes/buildings, pet insurance, or car insurance. You are considering offering them these products, but you are not a licensed agent. Or you want to learn more about the different insurances in the Philippines, and you want also to try offering these insurances to your friends and family. We have good news for you! Being a non-life insurance agent is not that difficult. Here are four easy steps:
Step 1. Apply as a Non-life Insurance Agent of an insurance agency (like Aetos Financial) that a Non-life Insurance company accredits. When looking for the right insurance team to join, consider asking what insurance companies they are affiliated with.
For example, our insurance agency Aetos Financial offers non-life, life, and health cards. The non-life insurance companies that Aetos is affiliated with are Pioneer, Malayan, Standard Insurance, and Perla Insurance.
To give you a background:
*Malayan – caters to the middle to high-end customers mainly for non-life insurance (including pet insurance). Malayan is a non-life company with a wide range of product offerings, including bonds, business insurance, liability insurance, and more.
*Pioneer – caters to the middle to high-end customers primarily for bonds, property (home/building), and vehicle insurance
*Perla and Standard – caters to low to middle-end customers primarily for car and motorcycle insurance, including taxi/grab insurance, etc.
Step 2. Wait for a call from the agency/team, who will schedule you for an orientation and interview.
Step 3. After attending this orientation and interview, you will be assessed if you can join the agency. If you are accepted to join the agency, you need to decide if:
a. You will only sell non-life insurance products
