Honestly, if you ask any person today what they think about life insurance, negative images will appear in their minds. They will most probably think of an insurance salesperson trying to push an expensive product down their throats. Well, they are not far from the truth, in a sense. Reason being many insurance agents join the industry with the hope of high financial rewards. Most of them are slammed with sales quotas to meet every month, and are rewarded with huge commissions and glamorous holidays when they do well. As a result, customers feel that agents are mostly self-serving, which we can’t blame them.
Of course, there will be some agents who truly believe in the value of life insurance from their hearts, and share the message based on authentic conviction. These agents are rare, but they are out there. This begs the question, “Am I one of them?” I can only say that I truly believe in the value of life insurance, because of my own personal experience firsthand with lupus and kidney failure. And yes, I am a kidney transplant patient, the sole breadwinner in my family, and a father to three young children.
I will share my own story more in detail in my next post. I would like to share that life insurance started off as a very noble idea in year 1706 in London by an Anglican bishop. It was called the Amicable Society. His sole purpose was to care of the widows and orphans, who lost the breadwinner, whom was usually the father in those times. His action resonates with a verse in the Bible – “The Christian who is pure and without fault, from God the Father’s point of view, is the one who takes care of orphans and widows, and who remains true to the Lord”
Does this noble idea still apply today? How many of us advisers go out into the marketplace to share the authentic message of protecting our families? Do our modern life insurance policies really help our families, or are these just overpriced products for profit-making companies?
