Kathmandu. There was a time when agents had to go from village to village, door to door, to find the insured. And finally, potential insurers were found. After a few rounds of meetings, gossip, acquaintances and acquaintances, they would talk about insurance and encourage them to buy insurance. And insurance policies were sold.
This is the time of information technology. An agent active in Dhangadhi can influence the potential insured of Dharan by distributing information, education, and awareness related to insurance through social networks like social media like Facebook, TikTok. It can motivate you to do insurance.
In Nepal, especially some women
In this context, a video of Indian insurance coach Kazim Raja training the participants on Facebook to become a successful agent for LIC and running from morning to evening to the insured’s doorstep. This video is not because the gurumantra given by him is good or relevant or because it is full of comments on the Facebook page saying that this gurumantra has become old and irrelevant in a huge market like India.
Commenting on the king’s page, one person wrote,
In the present context, your opinion is wrong, sir.
There was a time when people believed that being an LIC agent meant being in the field continuously.
Being with customers during the morning walk, sharing evening tea, and being present in both good and bad market conditions.
At the time, this belief was true. Because there was no choice.
There were no digital platforms, no data-driven insights, no online trust.
But times have changed. Methods have changed. Insurance policies have changed.
Most importantly, attitudes have changed.
Today, when customers go on a morning walk,
They have a smartphone in their hands—
They watch videos, read messages, do online research,
And often make decisions digitally.
The evening tea table has changed.
Today, that’s a tea video call.
That discussion is a follow-up message.
That trust is built through consistency, clarity and content.
Once you have to stand on the field all day
Now this can be achieved by building systems from home.
Today, property is not created by mere physical presence,
But it can be done by the following means:
Smart scheme
Timely Information and Communication
Ability to understand customer needs
and effective use of technology
An agent who simply runs from one area to another without strategy gets tired—but can’t make as much progress as expected.
But an agent who plans wisely, uses digital platforms wisely,
Respects time, and connects with customers in a meaningful way.
It is what sustains success in the long run. The geographic area is important, but the region is not everything.
Presence is important—but it is wise presence that matters.
So it can be said:
“Times have changed.
Geography has become narrower due to technology,
But the opportunities have become much bigger. ”
Today, a successful agent is not someone who runs all day,
But he’s the person who knows where to be, when he’s going to be, and how he’s going to be.
