Instance agent is a freelancer worker that mediates between the insured person and the insurance company. He is not working driecly for the insurance company. He only works for the insured person and tries to get information needed by the inteded purchasers of insurance policy. He's paid in commission. He should not be mistaken with a broker.

An insurance agent is a person that acts as an athlete between the insurer and the insurance company. Insurance agency is a very lucrative venture because you answer percentage from the premium paid by the insurer.
there are people into this kind of job and I can tell you that they make a whole lot of money passively.

In my own definition, an agent is someone that gives some advice to an individual who is about to purchase a particular insurance policy. He let the person know about what he is about to buy, the advantages and the disadvantages, how the client could make good use of it to benefit from it

An insurance agent is a licensed professional, who sells insurance products to clients on behalf of the insurance company. The agent helps clients select the right insurance to buy, but represents the insurance company in the transaction. To be a good insurance agent, it is very important to proffer excellent customer service.

You have rightly defined the functions of the insurance agents and not only that, you have defined the real person that an insurance agent is. It is however diffrent from insurance brokers. Although they perform the same function but the insurance broker is legally recognized by the insurance company unlike the agent who may not be known by the insurance. He only acts on behalf of the insured person.

Based on my association with our neighbor who worked as an insurance agent, I learned that he earns commission on the policy. The commission is taken from the monthly premium which would appear very little. That is the reason whey the insurance agent should have many clients so he can have a sort of passive income for his livelihood.

The insurance agents actually do serve as intermediary between the insurer and the insurance company and I think they actually earn some certain amount as commission whenever they bring a client that buys a policy under the insurance company , they are the ones that enlighten the insurer more too ,

That's very correct. But most time they are not representing any insurance companies. They are just like a freelancer that can work for many insurance companies at a time and as well working for many clients. The official worker of an insurance company that is legally recognized is the broker who earns salary.

Yeah the broker actually earn a particular amount as salary ,since the insurance company recognises them as part of their worker , but we could just refer to the agent as just referral , since they actually refer people to the company and earn some amount of fees as commission and they could be many as they don't serve as agent for just one insurance company but for others too

Yeah they are the one to guide the insurer on what particular step to take when insuring , Because most are usually confused when it comes to insurance , because they don't know how it's been done , so when they are more enlightened about insurance , they would actually know the best proper steps to take when insuring
