Insurance agents offer a very personal and important service. They serve as advisors and consultants. Their job is to recommend products and services that help you protect your business for the future. A good agent never uses a cookie-cutter approach; they look individually at their clients. They listen first, and then offer solutions. They never try to sell a product or service; they instead only recommend those that will truly help you and your individual situation. It’s important to select an agent who has the skills, knowledge, dedication and reputation to provide the service you deserve. Agents should be focused on you and work hard on your behalf.
Some Key Qualities Of A Good Agent
- Knowledge and Honesty – Insurance can be confusing. Your agent should be able to provide you with up-to-date information on new product developments and should use terms you understand when explaining insurance policies. Most importantly, an agent should tell you when a policy or service isn’t a good fit for you.
- Trustworthiness – Your insurance agent should be someone you trust. You should be able to communicate with the agent and get the answers to your questions in language you can understand.
- Integrity – Agents should listen to you and be up front about everything they say and do. Quality insurance agents don’t focus on selling, instead, they concentrate on providing for your needs and helping others.
- Stability and Dedication – Through the years, your needs will change. Your agent should provide annual reviews to help you determine whether the policies and services you have in place are still meeting your insurance needs and goals.
Do your homework when choosing an agent. Price should not be the only reason for choosing an agent or company, consider the product quality and the service you will receive throughout the year. Finding someone with whom you are comfortable with is the first step in creating a relationship that will help you through your lifetime. Give J.E.B.
