What is the difference between an insurance broker and an insurance agent?
How to become an Insurance Broker
Becoming an insurance broker requires three simple steps. Take a course to prepare you for the RIBO exam, pass the exam, and find a job within one year of passing the exam.
You can register for a course and the exam on the IBAO’s (Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario) website.
Why being an Insurance Broker is the right career for you
1. Fulfilling career
Some jobs need you to be in front of a computer everyday without any human contact. This can sometimes drain the life out of you if you are a social being.
An insurance broker’s job is to make new connections and build relationships. If you enjoy talking to people and helping them solve their problems, being an insurance broker can be very fulfilling.
2. Control of your income
One thing that attracts people to becoming an insurance broker is that there is no limit to the amount of money you can make. Your income completely depends on your work ethic and strategy. There’s no need to wait for a promotion to get a salary increase.
3. Job stability
As an insurance broker, you cannot get fired because you are independent and are not under any employment contract. And even if you do lose one or two clients out of hundreds, that still won’t leave you unemployed.
Lastly, people will always need insurance which makes it a very stable career. You can rest assured that you can continue growing your business to new heights each year.
