Mtangoja sana.

MV_Ufanisi .... I totally agree with you. Get it done. I have learnt the hard way that that is what it takes. I have lost money but what I have learnt from those losses is worth several MBAs.

There is a lot of opinions that float about on this site and most people just imagine and never get to doing. Apart from the stock section where rubber meets the road with several people acting on their stock picks in the group, SME and market sections there is a lot of opinions and very little action.

In fact from the opinions I read here majority have never actually never done anything and the few who are doing stuff are only coming to get ideas and maybe contacts and then get back to implementing and getting things done.

Hi Mawinder are you still doing road constructions? Asante sana!

Okay. So all this Toyota i see around town parked kumbe sio mingi sana. THERE ARE ONLY 7,000 public parking spaces in Nairobi.

Wololo!!! Poleni sana, I totally forgot about this and didn't think there was any interest..seems @Impunity knows me well....in terms of the threads I contribute in the most.

Anyway, the most insurance companies in the country pay around 40% commission on premiums for every premium received.

In most scenarios, you'll earn 40% per premium for the first year, then 20% per premium for the 2nd year and maybe 10% year 4-5 and then 5% from year 5 to 10.

So you're basically earning for all previous biz and any new biz for as long as the client is paying premium.

If your client is a good client and pays premiums consistently for 1 year (12 months), we give you a 13th month persistency bonus (paid after 15 months, technicalities of when a policy is considered as lapsed). That 13th month persistency bonus is a percentage of all commissions earned in that 1 year, and there's also a 25th month and a 37th month bonus.

Ofcourse selling insurance is very challenging but the guys doing it very well are extremely successful. Remember tax is 10% withholding
