This study purports to define and validate the competency model needed for insurance agents to do their jobs well. To meet its purpose, the researcher executed the relevant literacy review, interviews of high performers and expert panel review to withdraw the preliminary items, and finally collected self-reported survey results from insurance agents to verify validity and reliability. The study result shows 6 competencies which include a total of 24 behavioral items. These competencies are self- initiatives, self-confidence, trust-building, analytic ability, professionalism and responsibility. The analysis result of the relationship between gender and competencies and between performance level and competencies not only verified the validity of the competency model but also showed its possibility of practical usage. This study is significant in that it truly developed the competency model relevant for insurance consultants who have specialized characteristics different from general sales consultants. This study ends with suggestions on diverse ways of how to use the competency model.
