Insurance brokers have always been at the forefront of providing clients with insurance services. In times past, they had to spend a large amount of time and effort getting the customers to take them seriously and sign up for insurance policies.
Most insurance agents are independent contractors that help to market the companies. They charge a fee for every sale they make and most work independently. They have the benefit of being knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the insurance industry and can provide a wealth of information to a client.
