Beyond Personal Insurance to the Corporate Market: Kazushi Watanabe, CEO of HELLO base, to Lecture at MyClerk Corporate Market School 2026

As the personal insurance market matures, many insurance agents and FPs are showing interest in shifting to the corporate market. However, many approach business owners with the misconception that they can sell to corporations in the same way they sell personal insurance, only to see negotiations fail and withdraw. Therefore, HELLO base Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi; CEO: Kazushi Watanabe) announces that its CEO, Kazushi Watanabe, will be a lecturer for the "Financial Knowledge and Proposal Design" part of the "MyClerk Corporate Market School 2026," which will be launched in June 2026 by MyClerk Inc. (Headquarters: Sendai, Miyagi; CEO: Hideyuki Kitagawa). The Corporate Market Cannot Be Won on "Product Knowledge" Alone - The Wall Facing Individual FPs Small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners face business challenges entirely different from individuals, such as business succession, executive retirement benefits, employee welfare, and business protection. It is difficult to gain the trust of business owners by proposing insurance products with a self-taught approach to these issues. What is required in corporate insurance sales is, first, "the ability to read and understand the financial situation of the business owner"; second, "the proposal design skill to position insurance by working backward from business challenges"; and third, "the practical ability to translate the product itself into the context of the business owner." Learning opportunities that can simultaneously hone these three areas are extremely limited in the FP industry. Practical Curriculum Taught by Three Experts The "MyClerk Corporate Market School 2026" is structured so that three instructors, each of whom has achieved results in their respective fields, will teach the three major elements of conquering the corporate market: "Market and Partnership Development," "Financial Knowledge and Proposal Design," and "Practical Insurance Proposal Skills." Instructors and Their Areas of Responsibility Hideyuki Kitagawa CEO, MyClerk Inc. In charge of the market and partnership development part, covering how to enter the corporate market, designing partnerships with professionals, and practical methods for seminar-based customer acquisition.
