Are you looking to get ahead in your insurance career? The task of acquiring new skills and knowledge can seem overwhelming when you consider how quickly the insurance industry is evolving. But fortunately, some qualities never go out of style—and by committing to improve, you can set yourself up for success and sail ahead of the competition.
Four qualities of top insurance professionals
By building any of the following four skills, you’ll take steps to advance your career to the next level:
- In the insurance industry and in any job, you’re relied upon to share the results of your work with others on your team and across departments. Insurance companies employ many different teams of people—from Sales to Claims to Customer Service, and more. Whether in-person, over the phone or in email, the ability to express yourself and understand others is critical to meeting the needs of clients and members.
- Island You, population 1? Not likely if you work in the insurance industry! Instead, you’ll be working with many other people, and you’ll rely upon each other to meet goals and deadlines, and keep the business moving ahead. The better you can work with others—by sharing ideas, listening, brainstorming, communicating, and keeping each other on track—the better everyone will be at their jobs.
- What qualities come to mind when you think of an individual with a high degree of professionalism? You might call to mind a positive attitude, respect for others, a level head, an open mind, good attendance, punctuality, and a clean, professional appearance. And you would be right on all counts! Professionalism helps you do your job, support your coworkers in their roles and meet the goals of the insurance company.
- Motivation to learn. No boss will ever be upset if you endeavor to do more! The desire to learn, explore your role, tack on new skills, and grow in your career is an attractive quality in an insurance career and any other.
