Citizen Life Insurance Concludes ‘Award Ceremony and Skill Enhancement Program’ with Enthusiastic Participation
12th November 2025, Kathmandu
Citizen Life Insurance Company Limited recently concluded a highly successful series of its ‘Award Ceremony and Skill Enhancement Program,’ demonstrating a robust commitment to its agency force across Nepal.
Citizen Life Skill Enhancement
This nationwide initiative, strategically held in key cities, Itahari, Bhairahawa, Pokhara, and Kathmandu—was designed to be a blend of high-energy recognition and practical professional development. By focusing on its Citizen Leaders, the company reinforces its core belief that a motivated, skilled, and recognized sales network is the engine of its success in the dynamic life insurance sector.
The comprehensive program, which attracted between 250 to 360 Citizen Leaders at each venue, spanned various regions: the Eastern, Mid-Western, Western, and Central regions. Staging the events in locations like Solti Westend, Itahari; Tiger Palace Resort, Bhairahawa; Tika Resort, Lakeside Pokhara; and Smart Palace, Chabahil, Kathmandu, ensures broad participation and acknowledges the efforts of leaders operating outside the capital, making the rewards feel truly inclusive and national.
Cultivating Confidence and Professional Capabilities
The dual objectives of the program lay bare the company’s strategy for sustained growth. The events were explicitly aimed at promoting confidence, motivation, and fellowship among the Citizen Leaders. This focus on camaraderie and team spirit is vital in a sales environment, where a strong internal culture can directly translate into better external performance and retention. By bringing leaders together, the company fosters a network for peer learning and mutual encouragement.
Equally important was the objective to enhance sales skills and professional leadership capabilities. In the increasingly competitive and regulated insurance market, continuous professional development is not a luxury but a necessity. The training sessions were led by the company’s senior executive team—the Head of Training Department, Chief Business Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Chief Executive Officer—providing participants with insights and strategies directly from the top brass.
Core Pillars of Skill Enhancement
While the precise syllabus was not detailed, such skill enhancement programs in the insurance industry typically focus on several key areas essential for agent success:
Advanced Product Knowledge: Ensuring leaders have a deep, nuanced understanding of Citizen Life’s latest policies, riders, and financial solutions to match them effectively to client needs.

Consultative Sales Techniques: Moving beyond simple sales pitches to focus on client needs analysis, objection handling, and building long-term, trust-based relationships.
Digital Proficiency and CRM: Training on leveraging technology, mobile apps, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools to streamline operations, manage leads, and enhance client service efficiency.
Leadership and Team Building: For top-performing leaders, sessions often include management skills, motivational strategies, and techniques for building and mentoring successful sales teams.
Celebrating Excellence and Corporate Culture
A significant portion of the event was dedicated to recognition, which is a powerful motivational tool. The company honored ‘Bronze Club’ qualifiers for the fiscal year 2081–82. While the exact criteria for the Bronze Club are internal to the company, it generally signifies a significant achievement in terms of sales volume, premium collection, or team performance, marking the entry into the company’s elite performers. Furthermore, the award of ‘Hero of the Day’ titles to top performers added an element of daily competition and excitement, ensuring that excellence was celebrated immediately and publicly.
This practice of recognition is integral to Citizen Life’s corporate philosophy. The company explicitly stated that recognizing and rewarding hardworking leaders is an integral part of its corporate culture and values. By spreading positivity, happiness, and motivation, the company seeks to cultivate a positive and rewarding work environment, which ultimately benefits its customers through more dedicated and professional agents.
The Element of Celebration and Future Outlook
The business of insurance, while serious, needs a touch of levity and celebration to sustain energy. Citizen Life ensured the events were engaging by following the intense training sessions with an entertainment segment. The presence of popular folk singer Milan Lama, who delivered lively performances in Pokhara and Kathmandu, successfully injected energy and joy into the occasions. This blend of rigorous training and spirited celebration ensures that participants leave not just informed, but genuinely energized and motivated to return to their work.
The success of the events was described by Citizen Life as highly successful, vibrant, and inspiring. The company also signaled its continued commitment to its agents by announcing that similar programs for the Western and Hetauda regions will be organized soon, ensuring that no part of their leadership network is left out. This continuous investment in agent development and recognition is a key differentiator in the life insurance industry, positioning Citizen Life not just as an insurer, but as a career development partner for its leaders.
