Insurance Broker Cover Letter is the introductory document in the job application of an insurance broker. It elucidates some of the finer aspects of the personality and the qualifications of the candidate, something not entirely possible in a resume. The cover letter is a sort of a personalization of the job application that provides the broad framework within which the resume can be correctly interpreted. This is important because a well-crafted cover letter can simplify the recruiter's job, which in turn improves the odds of the candidate in the recruitment process.
Cover Letters should be written in a simple and easy to understand language. Although there is no restriction on the use of technical jargon that makes a resume attractive, the language should not be too technical. Next, the cover letter should provide the personal touch only to the extent that the overall professional character of the document is not lost. The candidate will do well to research the activities of company or the relevant department within the company before composing this letter. This will help him to pin point the areas of convergence between himself and the organization thereby fine-tuning the entire application.
Insurance Broker Cover Letters should enlighten the recruiter about the competence of the candidate. The most important skills for an insurance broker are the ability to explain the technicalities of insurance policies in a language that a non-technical person can understand and persuasive communication that will get the client to purchase the policy. These qualities deserve emphasis along with experience that is an indicator to how well the candidate can apply his talents.

Insurance Broker Cover Letters need to bring out those talents inherent in the candidate that will expand the business of the insurance provider and be the basis of a mutually beneficial relationship. Of particular note is the dexterity required in explaining technical concepts and provisions in a general language and in guiding the client across the threshold of indecision.
