An Insurance Agent serves as the primary link between insurance companies and clients, providing a broad range of services. They identify potential clients, understand their needs, and suggest suitable insurance policies to cover life, property, health, or automobile risks.

Insurance Agents are instrumental in expanding the customer base of the insurance industry by employing effective sales strategies and providing excellent customer service.
