Some large organisations offer broker traineeship programs and you can progress to be a retail client adviser. If you are qualified you may start off working in a team as a junior account executive. Your next step up the ladder would be a more senior position managing your own list of clients.

If you are a hard working, persuasive salesperson, representing a respected brand and product portfolio and possess a solid network and extensive database, you can make a high level of income as an independent insurance broker. The insurance industry primarily works on commission but you will find different products suit different economic conditions.

Career Path Options

Insurance brokers are able to further their career by undertaking courses to improve their knowledge and skills. These courses may give you the necessary qualification to advance your position. You may become a manager, or choose to start your own brokerage or agency.

You may also decide to alter the direction of your career path. It is possible to specialise in a particular area of insurance, and deal solely in that area. You may choose to work exclusively in life insurance, health insurance, or even more specialised fields such as car insurance or home insurance.

Irrespective, the behavioural competencies required to succeed as an insurance broker are fully transferrable to a multitude of selling or communication based careers and across a variety of industries.
