Some insurance agents, who made comments in my blog, think that low cost products refer only to term insurance and Incomeshield. How can an agent make a living by selling low cost products?
My definition of low cost products include traditional products and investment funds, with a modest commission rate, e.g.
* 30% commission (instead of 100%) to sell a 20 year regular premium policy. (Note: 30% works out to 1.5% per year)
* 1.5% (instead of 5%) to sell a single premium policy.
Under a "low cost" product, the agent can earn $100 to $300 (not $1,000) to sell a life insurance policy. These low cost product offer better value to their customers. The agent can increase the volume of sales, and make a good income.
Several of the products from NTUC Income (eg Ideal, Flexi-link and annuity plans) are already on the low cost model. They offer good value to the customers. I am happy to recommend them.
