How financial consultants are benefitted by taking LIC AGENCY in Ahmedabad

Finance consultants providers can benefit significantly from taking up a Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) agency in various ways, both in terms of business growth and professional development. Here are several key benefits they gain by becoming LIC agents:

  1. Additional Revenue Stream
  • Commission Earnings: LIC agents earn approx. 20 -25% commissions on First Year Premium for the policies they sell, which   serve as a significant source of income. This is especially beneficial for financial consultants looking to diversify their income sources.
  • Renewal Commissions: Besides First year commission,  consultants also receive bonus commission,  renewal commissions, hereditary commission on policies sold in previous years, providing ongoing passive income.
  • Comprehensive Financial Solutions: As a financial consultant, adding life insurance products to the range of services you offer enhances your value proposition. LIC’s diverse portfolio includes term insurance, endowment policies, ULIPs (Unit Linked Insurance Plans), pension plans, and more, enabling consultants to address various client needs.
  • Cross-Selling Opportunities: By offering life insurance along with other financial products like mutual funds, loans, and tax planning services, consultants can bundle services for better client retention and higher overall sales.

Strong Brand Recognition Trusted Brand:

LIC is one of the most trusted names in the life insurance sector in India, with a long history of stability and customer service. As an LIC agent, a financial consultant benefits from the credibility and trust associated with the LIC brand, which makes it easier to acquire and retain clients.

  • Brand Loyalty: LIC has a vast customer base, and being associated with the company can give consultants access to a large pool of potential clients.
  • Sales Training and marketing support: LIC provides extensive training and resources to its agents. For financial consultants, this means gaining knowledge about the insurance sector, products, and effective sales techniques. This can also help consultants improve their overall sales skills and product knowledge.
  • Long-Term Client Relationships: Life insurance typically involves long-term contracts, which can help financial consultants develop deeper relationships with clients. These long-term engagements also offer an opportunity for consultants to continually provide financial advice, review policies, and suggest additional products or services.
  • Trust and Reliability: Life insurance is a critical product for clients’ financial security, and providing these services builds trust. Over time, this strengthens the financial consultant’s reputation and client loyalty.
  • Tax Planning: Many LIC policies offer tax benefits under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, and they provide tax-free maturity proceeds under Section 10(10D). As a financial consultant, recommending LIC products can add value by helping clients reduce their tax liability, which is a key selling point for attracting clients.
  • Retirement Planning: LIC’s pension plans can be an essential part of clients’ retirement planning, which gives consultants an edge when discussing long-term financial goals with their clients.

Agency Network Growth Globally With LIC’s extensive network across India and abroad, consultants have the opportunity to tap into abroad market, making it easier to scale their operations.

  • Low Investment Required: Becoming an LIC agent typically requires minimal financial investment in terms of licensing, training, and office setup. This makes it a relatively low-risk opportunity for financial consultants looking to expand their offerings.
  • Flexible Work Environment: LIC agents have the flexibility to work independently, setting their own schedules and working from home or other locations. This allows consultants to integrate the insurance business with their existing consulting practice.
  • Helping Clients Secure Their Future: Life insurance is a product that can make a significant difference in clients’ lives, especially in case of unexpected events. As a consultant, being able to provide clients with products that offer financial security can be personally rewarding.
  • Recession-Proof Industry: The life insurance industry, especially with a reputed company like LIC, tends to be relatively stable and less impacted by market fluctuations compared to other financial sectors. This gives financial consultants an added sense of security in their business operations.
  • Residual Income: As policies renew each year, LIC agents can enjoy a steady income stream, even if they are not actively closing new sales, providing a form of income stability.
