As the title, what is the difference despite most of them offer professional advice for insurance products. For those Client Advisor, do they earn big commissions from singed up client? Thanks.

I have never seen anyone with name card or title stating "Insurance Agent". But feel free to show me a photo of someone's namecard with "insurance agent" on it.

Otherwise, are you making an imaginary comparison between client advisor and a non-existent job title? =:p

Sorry for the noob query. My imaginary Insurance Agent refers to those like old classmate who calls us to meetup in Starsbuck for discussion on insurance product. Whereas, those client Advisors are those serving in the office eg NTUC Income in AMK Hub.

Same Same

They are the same. If you really keen to buy I will recommend going to a bank instead as the product is the same but at least if the sales person leave, you know the bank will be the gurantor instead so no risk of people not "servicing" you.

Recently I met up with many insurance agents. they all have variety of titles.

1. Financial planner
2. Bancassurance specialist
3. Wealth planning manager
4. Financial consultant
5. Financial service consultant

But they all are selling insurance to me.

The bank is not the 'guarantor'. In fact, the bank is just another sales channel for the insurance company.

Worse, bank will just ask you to refer to the insurance company and wash their hands off it as they are only distributions.
