Why Career as LIC Agent? Do you want to work for a Company? OR Do you want to work for Yourself?

Why Career as LIC Agent? Working for someone else really sucks. You sacrifice your health, sleep, family time and best years of your life for a company that doesn’t appreciate you. This doesn’t seem like a winning strategy at all.

Why Career as LIC Agent? As per Dr S Ramadorai, adviser to the prime minister in the national council on skill development, Government of India: We are a young economy and we are only growing younger. In 2020, the average Indian will be only 29 years old – compare that with 37 in China and the US, 45 in West Europe and 48 in Japan. 65 per cent of our people will be in the working age group, and this age advantage for India is expected to continue for at least three decades till 2040.

Why Career as LIC Agent? ACCORDING to an estimate, we need to create around 1 to 1.5 crore jobs per year for the next decade to provide gainful employment to India’s young population. Large businesses in India, both in the public and private sector, will not be able to generate employment at such a large scale. There is a need to actively focus on being entrepreneur, which can help in creating sufficient jobs to absorb our large young population.

This is not an ordinary LIC Agency offer. Through our meticulous training and guidance we make ordinary people earn extraordinary wealth.

The above figures show that there is tremendous potential available in India to match the figures of Asian and other countries of the world.

Market Potential b.Low Insurance Density: Insurance Density is the ratio of premium to total Population. We will come to know about the potential when we compare the difference in Insurance Density in India with that of other countries of the world.

There is huge potential available just to reach the world average and to reach the figures of Asian and other countries the scope is phenomenal.

Looking at the very low volume of life insurance premium of India, we can assess the available potential of Indian Life Insurance Market.

This is expected to grow to 45% by the year The income level of this group is rising and with increasing life expectancy and concept of nuclear family the need for life insurance will also increase. Research by Morgan Stanley shows that India’s working-age population will increase by 136 million by (China’s working-age population, by comparison, will grow by 23 million.) The expected increase in young working population shows the potential available in India for Life Insurance Business.
