Insurance agency and broking interviews test two things at once: whether you can bring in business and whether you sell correctly under IRDAI rules. The opener should state your licence and lines, the families or businesses you serve, and proof from after the sale, such as persistency, renewals or a claim you helped settle.
I’ve been a licensed life insurance agent for seven years in Lucknow and serve about three hundred and fifty policyholders, mainly salaried families and small traders. I start every relationship with a needs analysis covering income, loans and dependants, which is why most of my policies are term plans supported by health cover rather than large savings products. My thirteenth-month persistency has stayed consistently high, and I’ve helped four families through death claims, including one where I coordinated documents with the insurer and the claim was settled quickly. I’ve also qualified for my company’s top agent club for three years. I’m interested in your agency development role because I want to recruit and train new agents in the same way, starting with needs rather than products.
Selling any policy to anyone suggests pushing products. The rewrite names the licensed line, the client base, a disclosure habit, renewals and claim support, then connects them to the agency’s stated direction.
For students, interns and your first job.
I’m a B.Com graduate from Madurai and I passed the IRDAI pre-licensing exam three months ago after completing the required training. I started as an agent attached to a life insurer’s branch in my town, and so far I’ve issued policies for eighteen families, mostly term plans and a few health covers bought alongside them. What I’ve focused on is disclosure: I fill in the proposal form with the customer, not for them, so medical history and income are recorded correctly. During college I worked part-time in my uncle’s small business, which is where I learned to talk to shopkeepers about their risks. I’m applying to your agency because you invest in training on needs analysis, and I want to build a practice where clients stay with me for years.
I’ve just finished my BBA from Nagpur and completed a four-month internship with a general insurance broker, where I supported the motor and health renewals team. I called customers ahead of expiry, compared renewal quotes, and helped two families gather documents for cashless hospital claims with the TPA. Seeing a claim go smoothly because the forms were in order changed how I see this work. I’ve since cleared the IRDAI exam for general insurance and I’m keen to specialise in health and motor for households and small shops. I’m applying to your company because your agents handle claims support themselves instead of passing it on, and that after-sale responsibility is the part of the job I want to be good at.

I’m a composite insurance agent with six years of experience in Ludhiana, licensed for general insurance and working mostly with small manufacturers and shops. I handle fire and burglary, marine cargo, group health and motor fleet policies. The part of my work clients value most is claims: when a flood damaged stock at a client’s godown, I stayed with the surveyor through the inspection and helped the owner build the stock records, and the claim was settled without dispute. I review every commercial client’s sum insured each year so under-insurance doesn’t surface at claim time. My renewal retention is very strong. I’m applying to your broking firm because I want access to more insurers for these clients and to move into commercial lines at a larger scale.
For 10+ years, specialists and leaders.
I’ve spent sixteen years in life insurance, starting as an agent and now leading an agency of forty-five advisors in Jaipur as a senior agency manager. My team serves families across the city and nearby districts, and our focus has been on protection and persistency rather than first-year premium alone. I built a structured training cycle for new agents covering needs analysis, proper disclosure and IRDAI conduct rules, and our complaint numbers have stayed low even as the team has grown. Several agents I recruited now lead their own teams. I also review every early claim that comes up in our region with the claims team to see where advice could have been better. I’m interested in your regional role because I want to spread that model across more branches.
I’m an insurance professional with nineteen years in general insurance, currently heading a corporate agency channel for commercial lines across Gujarat. We serve around six hundred business clients, from small exporters to mid-sized chemical units, and my team includes twelve relationship managers and a claims desk. My biggest contribution has been building risk inspection into renewals, so we recommend safety improvements and correct sums insured before a loss happens. When a major fire hit one client’s plant, our team handled the survey and interim payment process closely, and the business was back in production within weeks. I mentor younger managers on underwriting basics and client communication. I’m interested in this role because I want to lead commercial lines at a national level for your company.
Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for insurance agents applying in India. Every example is original — none is copied from a real person’s profile — and each is built around what employers and clients in this field look for: the role, a specialism, and proof you can back up. We revise the page when that changes; the date at the top shows the last update.
These are examples to adapt, not real people. Swap in your own numbers, specialisation, city and achievements — it only works when every word is true for you.
You can mention premium in ranges if asked, but lead with persistency, renewal retention and claims supported. Agency managers know premium can be inflated by one large policy, while steady renewals show clients trust your advice.
Explain that you want to offer clients choice across insurers and handle more lines, such as health or commercial cover. Mention that you understand a broker has different licensing and duties to the client, and that you are ready to meet them.
