Selling insurance policies post-retirement is a very lucrative option for many retired individuals. After retirement, maintaining your lifestyle expenses and holiday dreams can easily be fulfilled with an additional income without affecting your retirement corpus, that you would have accumulated over the years.

Not only the income but being involved in an active work life gives a lot of positive energy to most retired individuals who have become successful insurance advisors post their retirement from full-time work. Since this is a business opportunity, there is no limit to your income and you can also space out your work schedule according to your holiday plans.

Thus, retired individuals can also generate a source of income if they build a career in insurance sales. Retired individuals can become a Point of Sale Person (PoSP) and earn handsomely by selling insurance policies and that too without investing any money.

A Point of Sale Person (PoSP) is an individual who is licensed to sell insurance policies as per the PoSP Guidelines. A Point of Sale Person (PoSP) can sell life as well as general insurance policies offered by multiple companies by just having one POSP license. A Point of Sale Person (PoSP) is, therefore, an insurance intermediary who can sell insurance policies and earn commissions on the premiums collected.

Becoming a Point of Sale Person is beneficial for you because –

• As long as you are more than 18 years of age, there are no other age restrictions in becoming a Point of Sale Person (PoSP). You can become a Point of Sale Person (PoSP) even after you have retired.
• You can sell insurance in your free time and earn commission on the policies you have sold
• You can educate your friends and family about the importance of insurance and why the policy should be bought. Thus, selling insurance is also a noble business
• When you sell insurance and earn a commission, you will become independent, self-confident and also have self-respect.
• You can generate a source of income in your old age and utilise the income to fulfil your dreams without worrying about the costs involved
• If you sell life insurance policies, the plans would also pay you renewal commissions every year the renewal premium is paid by your customer. This renewal premium can act as an annuity income for you if you sell multiple life insurance plans with longer tenures

As a Point of Sale Person (PoSP), retired individuals can sell both life and general insurance policies of various insurance companies. By selling each policy they earn an attractive commission on the premium they bring.

So, even if you sell one policy with a premium of INR 10, 000, you can earn up to INR 3000 as your commission depending on the type of policy that you have sold.

There are no fixed working hours and retired individuals can sell insurance policies as per their own convenience. Thus, they can enjoy their retired life and still earn handsomely as a Point of Sale Person (PoSP).

So, even if you have retired from your job, don’t retire from your life. Become a Point of Sale Person (PoSP)and create another source of flexible income and fulfil all your dreams.
