When it comes to the world of insurance, there are a lot of people who are attracted to the hope and promise of making money.
Insurance bosses always tell the recruits that they are suitable for the job
My friend who is an insurance team boss tells me that they always get new recruits to join by telling them that they are suitable for the job, but in actual fact they only want the extra headcount because one more person working for them means one more person to earn the commission from.
I have known my friend for quite a few years, and he has always been upfront about his intentions with the insurance business.
He was always honest about the fact that he was in it for the money, and that he was looking for people to join him so that he can get a share in their insurance commission.
It was never a secret that he was looking for new recruits to increase his insurance team size, and he was always open about the fact that he was going to make more money if he had more people working for him.
One more person means more chances of commission
At first, I was a bit taken aback by this approach, but then I realized that it was quite common in the insurance industry.
The more people a team has, the more commission they can earn, so it makes sense that they would want to recruit as many people as possible.
I also understand that my friend was looking for people who fit the job, but he was also looking to increase the size of the team and he said that it didn’t really matter if they are good in selling any insurance policies because one more person means one more chance of getting more commission.
He also said that he has to paint the best picture for them to see and he said that it would be too off-putting for them if he were direct with them.
He said that nobody wants to feel like they are being taken advantage of, so he preferred to tell them that they were suitable for the job instead.
He said that it was a way of “selling” the job to them without making them feel like they were being taken advantage of.
