So You Want to Sell Snake Oil (Legally) in BitLife: A (Mostly) Serious Guide to Insurance Agent-ing
Ah, the noble profession of insurance agent. In BitLife, it's less about saving lives and more about saving pixels from the cold, hard grip of misfortune. Think of yourself as a superhero, but one who throws paperwork instead of punches. Sounds thrilling, right? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's knitting circle.
Step 1: Embrace the Grind (But Maybe Not Literally)
First things first, ditch the fancy college dreams. You won't need that fancy "Comparative Llama Literature" degree to sling policies. High school's enough, my friend. Save those brain cells for memorizing obscure clauses and dodging flying staplers from disgruntled clients.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Machiavelli (But Keep it PG-13)
Selling insurance is all about the pitch. You're basically a bard spinning tales of woe, convincing folks their teeth will spontaneously combust without your premium package. Master the art of fear-mongering. Are rogue squirrels gnawing on your roof? Bam! Liability insurance. Did your goldfish develop existential angst? Bam! Pet therapy coverage. You're basically Oprah, but instead of handing out cars, you're dishing out peace of mind (for a hefty price, of course).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Step 3: Befriend the Numbers (They Don't Bite... Much)
Okay, okay, math isn't everyone's forte. But here's the thing: even a goldfish can count to ten (maybe). You just need to understand basic percentages, deductibles, and how much extra to charge for that "acts of God" clause. Think of it as a puzzle, except instead of kittens, it's legalese and spreadsheets. Thrilling, I know.
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.

Bonus Round: Master the Art of Upselling (Because Every Penny Counts)
Sure, Mr. Johnson wants basic life insurance. But why stop there? Throw in some accidental death by tuba coverage! How about spontaneous human combustion insurance (it's a real concern, trust me)? The more obscure the peril, the fatter your commission. Just remember, don't sell snake oil to a cobra, or in this case, don't pitch anti-meteor insurance to someone living in a yurt.
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
And there you have it! You're now officially equipped to navigate the treacherous waters of BitLife insurance. Remember, with great commissions comes great responsibility (and the occasional lawsuit). But hey, if you can convince someone their pet rock needs disability insurance, then you, my friend, are a true master of the craft. Go forth and sell those pixels some peace of mind (for a small fortune, of course)!
P.S. Don't forget to bribe the judges. Just sayin'.
P.P.S. Seriously, don't sell insurance to cobras. They hold grudges.
Disclaimer: This guide is for entertainment purposes only. We take no responsibility for any emotional distress caused by rogue squirrels, existential goldfish, or spontaneous human combustion (although, that last one's a real doozy).
