Top three tips for a career in Broking
Advice from Principal Team Lead, Sam Wolstenholme
Upskill in your specialty
Whilst people use Brokers for products, a vital part of being a Broker is providing consultative advice. You need to be able to provide a high-quality service by being a specialist in the market. By being proactive on industry updates and business trends, you can be adaptive and provide a more efficient service for the clients you work with.
Expand your network
The insurance community is growing, so it's more important than ever to establish yourself in the market. By attending networking events, you will build connections with other Insurance professionals and gain valuable insight into how you can grow your career. You might find new opportunities along the way!
Technology transformation
With an increase of insurance technology being used, traditional jobs in insurance have become more digitalised. As a result, Hiring Managers are more interested in tech-savvy professionals. Consider what technology may be beneficial for you to learn when you move forward in your career; are there any CRMs, programmes, or data analytic skills worth building into your skillset?
