Ditch the Old, Upgrade to Gold: Why You Need to Revamp Your Outdated Insurance Policies Now
Insurance Remodeling: A Necessity in Today’s Changing Landscape
Lee Hong-jun, a team leader at The Partners with 19 years of experience as an insurance planner, emphasizes the importance of insurance remodeling in today’s changing landscape. “Insurance needs to be remodeled just like old buildings are rebuilt,” he says. “The more experience, the better the designer… The customer also has to make an effort.”
Lee Hong-jun explains that insurance remodeling is necessary because trends change over time, and new products with wider coverage and higher insurance premiums are created. He shares an example of a customer who signed up for a new cancer insurance product following his recommendation and was able to receive 50 million won in insurance money after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
What is a Good Designer?
Lee Hong-jun emphasizes that a good designer is one who has more than 10 years of experience and knows the terms and conditions well. “A designer with more than 10 years of experience will have a lot of compensation history and will have a lot of knowledge about the product,” he says.
Criteria for Conducting Your Own Warranty Analysis
Lee Hong-jun provides the following criteria for customers to conduct their own warranty analysis:
- Actual loss insurance is the core of health insurance, so it is the most basic.
- The three major diagnosis fees of cancer, brain, and heart disease are essential.
- In the case of cancer insurance, the major cancer treatment fee is popular, so it is worth considering signing up.
- Heart disease and cerebrovascular disease should be included as diagnostic special contracts to prevent the problem of non-payment of insurance money.
- Unless you are an elderly person, a non-renewable type that does not increase the insurance premium is advantageous.
- You should also check if you have signed up for other products such as actual loss insurance.
What Level of Insurance Premium is Appropriate?
Lee Hong-jun explains that the standards vary depending on various conditions such as the type of residence and whether one lives in the metropolitan area. However, he suggests that it is reasonable to structure it so that a single-person household can pay 5-6% of their monthly income as insurance premiums, and a family of four can pay 10-12% of their monthly income.
The Importance of Insurance Planners
Lee Hong-jun emphasizes the importance of insurance planners in the industry. “As the level of customers in Korea has improved, insurance planners have also become a profession that requires them to acquire more specialized knowledge,” he says. ”That’s why I advise my juniors to do their job with a clear conscience without worrying about the allowance.”
Lee Hong-jun’s insights highlight the importance of insurance remodeling in today’s changing landscape. By understanding the criteria for conducting your own warranty analysis and what level of insurance premium is appropriate, customers can make informed decisions about their insurance coverage.
