Success tale # 1
IT professional turned Life Insurance Advisor
Three years in the software industry,
Lakshmi Narayanan has now quit and taken
up Life advisor career in LIC…
“I don’t like the monotonous
work which I was doing…
I love talking to people…
I build a very good rapport with anyone
in a few minutes time…
I hence shifted base to Insurance where
my creativity is paid generously. My business
brings me good commission and the returns
keep coming for years…
That means by selling a single policy I
create an income for my future also."
says Lakshmi Naryanan.
He surprised everyone by his decision “My
co-workers forced me to drop the idea, since
I was really doing well in the software
industry. But I didn’t want to stick
around just because I had a B.Tech degree”.
When he became a part of lifeinlic.com
he had no definite experience in insurance,
there was lot of free lance learning which
went along with it.
And today he has no regrets!
From a 16 hour work culture he now puts
in just 5 hours and earns triple the income
he earned in software. And this year he
has qualified for MDRT, (earned a income
of 7 lakhs), next year he is confident to
complete COT (3 times MDRT) |

company was extremely excited at the enormous
prospects offered by LIC.

Chennai, he was not too sure whether he would
succeed in concept selling of life insurance
products.

those times there were few people who would
consider this as a career option.
There were other lucrative offers, but I couldn’t
muster enough courage to take them. But I
chose to be on my own and be my own boss and
joined Asia’s largest Insurance Company
LIC of India as advisor.
Although earlier I thought that a salaried
job is the best, thanks to LIC now I earn
close to 7 digit figure per annum”.

I want to be part of the growth to prosper,
And Iam sure completing MDRT is not a big
