Agents keep in contact with their customers to make sure their needs are being met and to get referrals. Property and casualty agents sell insurance that pays for losses from auto accidents, fires, or thefts. Health insurance policies cover costs of hospital and medical care. Life insurance agents offer policies that pay survivors when the person who bought the policy dies. Some policies can be designed to provide retirement income, education money for children, or other benefits.
Many agents sell insurance for only one company, while other agents sell insurance for several.
