The law in this country allows many places to sell insurance for all sorts of purposes. Ranging from pet insurance right through to dental and house insurance. Now I used to work in a bank and each morning before to start of our day we would have a branch meeting to discuss what the focus of the day would be. Our branch manager would offer some team motivation and perhaps a mini training session on the product we were to sell that day. We were then all given a sales target that we were expected to meet during that day. This is all very good and well but if you failed to reach your daily targets you would be hauled in front of your manager at the end of the day to discuss why you had not performed. This performance review was logged and eventually you would be "Managed out" for under performance (in other words they would be so vile to you that eventually you would leave).
Now next time you are being convinced by the lovely sales person or bank clerk that you need to insure your insurance policy (I know I am exaggerating) really stop and consider if you want the policy. Read the small print, most insurance policies have numerous clauses where you or your item would not be covered (For example most insurance policies will not cove certain types of cancer or heart conditions). Consider if it worth the premium and always always shop around to see which company offers the policy for the most competitive price, and ensure it actually covers you for your requirements. Ask yourself "Do I need this, or is the sales person who is telling me I need it simply meeting targets?"
You have been warned!!!!
There is so much unethical sales around there are numerous web sites and journals you can read for advice and knowledge.Check the link.
