What I bring to the table is an extensive background in the insurance industry as an innovative and resilient rapport builder who has jump-started growth and expansion within the property and casualty insurance industry.When I come on board, I assess where the company is and find out the goals. By listening carefully and creating buy-in from the staff, I have been able to change the focus from a "service mentality" to a "sales mentality" and taught people to follow talking points to close sales.
