N-Jobber Making Money from Home with 'Insurance Redesign' Instead of Delivery or Substitute Driving

Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance Opens New Sales Platform Meritz Partners

A(42), a head of household in his 40s who ran a cafe in a new town in Gyeonggi-do. He left a mid-sized company and started a cafe three years ago due to anxiety about the future, but as the COVID-19 aftermath continued, he only sighed over the accumulating monthly deficits. After closing the cafe at 9 p.m., A, who was considering ‘two jobs’ such as delivery service or designated driver, recently saw an advertisement recruiting for Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance’s ‘Meritz Partners’ and decided to apply. He judged that he could earn a considerable amount of extra income just by redesigning insurance products for himself, his family, acquaintances, and others around him by utilizing spare time without disrupting the existing cafe operation.

Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance opened a new sales platform called ‘Meritz Partners’ on the 26th targeting N-jobbers like A. This channel was created reflecting the rapidly changing social environment such as the diversified employment market after the COVID-19 pandemic and trends emphasizing self-consumption.

Applicants can receive training for the non-life insurance qualification exam through videos and materials uploaded on a dedicated application. After obtaining the certification, all stages of sales activities related to insurance products, including product design, coverage analysis, subscription, and customer management, can be conducted through a mobile subscription system.

Simply redesigning insurance products that the applicant, family, or acquaintances have already subscribed to can generate commission income, attracting the interest of smart consumer customers.

Unlike traditional agents, Meritz Partners allows flexible activity at preferred times and places. It is available not only to self-employed people, university students, and housewives looking for part-time work but also to office workers who want to make good use of weekends.

The biggest advantage is that participants can increase additional income by working as much or as little as they want without pressure on performance. The most emphasized feature by Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance is the dedicated mentor system. Once applying for Meritz Partners, a dedicated mentor is assigned to provide one-on-one care throughout the entire process from preparing for the non-life insurance qualification exam to signing product contracts.

There is no need to go to the office or use a specific platform. Work support is available through the preferred communication method according to the applicant’s situation, such as phone, email, or mobile messenger.

Since most people are unfamiliar with the insurance industry, the mentors are experienced professionals who can provide support ranging from simple inquiries to specialized insurance education.

A pilot test was conducted before the official opening with various types of applicants participating. It was found that diverse individuals, regardless of age, gender, or previous occupation, chose Meritz Partners as a side job, including a 30-year-old working mom who started to supplement her child’s academy fees, a 40-year-old office worker needing additional income, and a young professional wanting to upgrade their hobby.

A survey of applicants showed that the most attractive aspects were high income relative to time and flexible time allocation.

The application process is simple. Access the dedicated Meritz Partners website, click the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom, and complete a few simple fields to finish the application.

A Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance official said, “Meritz Partners is a new sales platform that supports anyone in the diversified employment market to generate additional income as a smart N-jobber,” adding, “We are exploring various support measures to lower the entry barrier to the insurance industry and offset the perception that insurance is difficult.”
