Recap: 2014 Annual Convention

 
The Trusted Advisor: Your Quest to Enhance Your Customer Experience Journey
Scott Addis
Today’s business leaders are starving for their agent and brokers to demonstrate a curiosity and desire to understand the inner workings of their business. They are searching for a new brand of insurance agent or broker – consultative, diagnostic, results-oriented and focused on managing and mitigating risks rather than selling insurance. The Trusted Advisor is distinguished from others in the marketplace as a result of his or her unique value proposition, relational capital and technical talents. This program will enable you to move beyond the transactional sale to a consultative and diagnostic process leading to Trusted Advisor status. Specific focus will be placed on the design and development of a powerful value proposition consisting of a process to facilitate your ability to identify, prioritize and mitigate the risks of those organizations for whom you serve.
