When you\u2019re new on the job, you want to do your very best. Right? Of course!<\/p>\n

But you might have the \u201cnew person jitters.\u201d This is perfectly normal. You\u2019re getting used to new responsibilities, new coworkers, new processes\u2026 there\u2019s a lot to take in. You might feel like it\u2019s all you can do to keep your head above water as you learn. Being impressive will come a little ways down the road when you feel more comfortable, right?<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s not exactly true!<\/p>\n

You might be surprised to learn that you can start impressing your employer and those around you from day one. There are small things you can do for a great start at your new job.<\/p>\n

Five ways to make a good impression as a new insurance agent<\/h3>\n

Try any of the following (or all five!) to launch your new job towards a bright future:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Be on time\u2014or communicate.<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re in the office or logging on from home, be prompt. It shows respect for your boss and your dedication to your job. Don\u2019t leave people waiting. If you absolutely cannot be on time (for example, you have back-to-back meetings and one is running over), contact your boss or others to let them know you\u2019ll be late.<\/li>\n
  2. Be professional. <\/strong>In your tone of voice when speaking, in the things you say in person or emails, in the way you dress, and in the way you conduct yourself\u2014always be professional. If you\u2019re working from home, you might feel more casual, but you can still dress up for video meetings. And if you\u2019re in the office, always be sure you look good and follow the dress code.<\/li>\n
  3. Be willing to learn. <\/strong>If there\u2019s something you don\u2019t know\u2014ask! Stay open to what you can (and will) learn from your new team. Ask your boss if you can be assigned a mentor to help you do your very best.<\/li>\n
  4. Be respectful. <\/strong>When you\u2019re new, the people around you have been on the job longer and have built experience that you\u2019re just beginning. Never enter a new job with a chip on your shoulder. Instead, stay open-minded about everyone you interact with\u2014give them credit for their knowledge and expertise.<\/li>\n
  5. Be kind. <\/strong>This is true when you\u2019re new, and also just in general. You\u2019ll always find the best in any situation when you keep your thoughts positive. Smile\u2014people will see it in person and hear it on the phone. Your attitude goes a long way when you\u2019re getting to know people, learning new things, and working together as a team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
