The company was the first life insurance company formed in India and as such it has the largest customer base. As such, LIC has more than 2048 branches operating today.

Selling insurance policies of LIC

LIC policies can be sold in two ways – online and offline. Let’s understand how these methods work –

  • Offline mode of selling LIC policies
    You can sell LIC policies by visiting your clients. You have to explain the plan details to your clients. After the client agrees to the policy that you recommend, you should help your clients fill up the proposal form. After the form is filled, collect the premium.
    Then, you need to visit the office of LIC for getting the policy issued. It is a cumbersome process as you have to physically visit the company premises for entering in the policy details which you have sold.
  • Online mode – An easier alternative
    Rather than visiting your contacts physically, you can become a Point of Sale Person (PoSP). TurtlemintPro allows you to sell LIC policies online from the comfort of your own home.

How to sell LIC policy online?

To sell LIC policies online, you can follow these steps –

  • Create a list of all your contacts including family, friends, relatives and acquaintances and then approach them
  • Try and find out the financial requirements of your contacts before telling them the details of the policy. Once you find the financial requirements you can understand which policy would be suitable for them.
  • Once you have understood the requirement of the client, recommend the suitable LIC policy. It can be an endowment plan for savings oriented needs, child plan for child’s future planning, pension plans for retirement planning or unit-linked plans for creating wealth
  • Once the client sees that the product which you are suggesting meets his/her financial needs, he/she would buy the policy from you. When the client agrees to buy the plan, help them fill up the proposal form online. The form should be filled with particular details and the details should be correct. If the client does not understand any part of the form, educate him/her about it so that the form is filled after complete understanding.
  • After the form is filled, help your clients pay online premiums and help them get the policy thereafter.
