insurance industry with its limited contribution to the commitment of the insurance and related Insurance is basically all-round organ， the actuarial， product development， product sales， a single， nuclear security， scheduled for loss， claims， investment and so on all the functions of its direct sales business difficult to achieve， agents and brokers to help their bodies to complete， the agent Brokers and agencies of its direct sales only added Public service is also estimated insurance claims of the department In many cases， customers need a strong， or insurance claims department is difficult to operate， the public insurance assessment will be It is clear that if the insurance company to maintain its "large" the functions of the professional insurance intermediary to the development of the space is very In the short term， insurers will continue its "large" Strengthen the direct sales business is still in， for example， the Insurance companies are still greater efforts
