[{"role": "system", "content": "An insurance broker (also insurance agent) sells, solicits, or negotiates insurance for compensation. The largest insurance brokers in the world, by revenue, are Marsh & McLennan, Aon Corporation, and Arthur J. Gallagher & Co and Willis Group. \"Insurance broker\" became a regulated term under the Insurance Brokers (Registration) Act 1977 which was designed to thwart the bogus practices of firms holding themselves as brokers but in fact acting as representative of one or more favoured insurance companies. The term now has no legal definition following the repeal of the 1977 Act. The sale of general insurance was regulated by the Financial Services Authority from 14 January 2005 until 31 March 2013 and by the Financial Conduct Authority since 1 April 2013. Any person or firm authorized by the Authority can now call themselves an insurance broker. Insurance brokerage is largely associated with general insurance (car, house etc.) rather than life insurance, although some brokers continued to provide investment and life insurance brokerage until the onset of more onerous regulation in 2001. This drove a more transparent regime based predominantly on up front negotiation of a fee for the provision of advice and/or services.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Thinking about training to be a insurance broker"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The largest insurance brokers in the world, by revenue, are Marsh & McLennan, Aon Corporation so you might want to take a closer look at them"}, {"role": "user", "content": "An insurance broker sells, solicits, or negotiates insurance for compensation but hey its a job right?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes exactly.
