"The Hidden Struggles of a Bancassurance Role"The good thingsThe recruitment process and training process was smooth and okay, highly kudos to training.
The challengescame from an agency background, transitioning into the banca setup was a new experience for me. Initially, I expected the coms and targets to be somewhat similar to what I was used to. However, it was only after graduation that I learned the full deets about the comms structure and I have to admit, I felt quite disappointed. The quota was significantly high, yet the commission percentage was relatively small. We were also told that we would receive a good number of leads, but in my case, only a few were actually provided. Despite this, I still managed to set several client meetings. Unfortunately, some of those meetings were affected by feedback from clients who shared negative stories, particularly concerning claims experiences with our company, which challenged me.
On top of all that, having a manager with a troubled manner added even more stress to an already challenging situation. Instead of providing motivation or support, the environment became more pressuring than productive.
