However, the whole market is not mature enough, and brokerage firms and agency companies are still in the red, therefore growth of direct investment in them has slowed down. Moreover, many of these agencies and brokerages operate property insurance products, resulting in a lack of life insurance agencies and brokerages. Operation of them is extensive with relatively low professional level. Life insurers should have a clear notion of the current situation of insurance agencies and brokerages, capture opportunities for development, and make a preemptive advance in the market. When employing insurance agencies and brokerages to sell individual products, life insurers should: have realistic requirements and longterm plan, strictly selecting cooperating agencies and brokerages, reform cooperation mechanisms and provide fullrange support, safeguard the relationship with cooperating agencies and brokerages, and avoid clashes with other distribution channels. Key words:brokerage and agency channel; development potential; operational scale; cooperation mechanism; relationship maintenance
