it's 25% generally across the board, but if you hit certain level you are entitled to 40% of the premium paid.

Many thanks for the insightful reply.

So the commission is only paid if the client has paid for a year?
Or right at the moment he signs up for the policy, you are paid 25%?

As far as I know, it is 50% commission of the insurance premium for life insurance. Because insurance selling is so competitive, I told my insurance agent that I will buy a life insurance from him if he would split that 50% commission with me. Of the 2 different life insurance agents I dealt with, they agree to split their commission evenly with me, so in the end I pay only 75% of the insurance premium for the first year. (the other 25% of the insurance premium is paid by the insurance agent per the commission splitting agreement). This is only for the first year, second year onwards, I would pay 100% of the insurance premium.

Actually I'm curious why would someone sell their body for sales, it's not that insurance commission is so lucrative. Unless you are buying with premium up to twenty thousand. If for the mere few thousand premium, I don't see the reason, they can earn more by directly become prostitute...

No doubt they can earn more if they become a prostitute. But as prostitute, they need to service all walks of life, including the undesirable ones, not unless she is a "high class" prostitute calling her own shots with the right to reject customers.

An insurance agent desperate to meet sales target for a particular month/period would not mind providing the special service if:

- that particular insurance deal is make or break. if the customer signs on, she meet sales target. if customer does not sign, she does not meet sales target
- the customer is someone decent and clean, good looking, someone she would have a one night stand with, even if it is not relating to an insurance deal
- the customer is buying a decent coverage with potential for more business in the future

But again, I must say this is not common and only a desperate insurance agent would agree to such requests.
