This involves monitoring the performance of the team as a whole and on an individual basis, offering training and guidance in order for the team to achieve income and quality targets, developing systems and processes to make the day to day running of the team easier and handling disciplinary matters within the team.

Prior to the promotion to my current role I had to sell motor insurance policies to the motorsport and sports car industry. As this is a brokerage this required me to obtain all of the appropriate information in order to produce the most appropriate quote to recommend to the client. This involves excellent listening and questioning skills as well as sales techniques and negotiation skills. Prior to my promotion I was the top sales person in our department taking over 40% of the sales income for the team. I also have to ensure that I am compliant with all FSA and ICOBBS regulations to protect the customers. I have brought in new business lines through several broker relationships and also arranged a new product for short term cover on “Banger Rallies” through our underwriters. I have worked at various motorsport events such as the Autosports show at Birmingham NEC and the Lotus Show at Donington Park in order to develop new business.

My main responsibilities in this position were to take inbound telephone calls from customers and to handle queries, complaints and amendments to policies using a variety of software packages, including Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and systems specific to the job. I had to quickly identify the customer’s requirements and act appropriately according to the information given. I was set targets for the speed and efficiency of handling these calls and also the accuracy of the information I give based on FSA regulations. I constantly met these targets.
