I haven't posted in a while because I've been stricken by a slew of paperwork!! omg! i didn't know how much work goes on behind the scenes to get policies done the way that clients want them to be.
example: i've had to do some absolute assignments, meaning transferring ownership of a policy, from one person to another
i've had to find out how to go from a monthly to annual mode payment
i've also had to advise how to view statements for investment linked policies and so on and so forth.
now i KNOW it doesn't sound like a lot right now, but trust me, it does take quite a bit of effort to find out things, especially when you've not a lot of time to find out.
i just wanted to talk a little about time limits and patience.
i believe that i'm in insurance for a reason. God-fearing christian that I am, i also believe God has a plan for me - I've never been a patient girl. I'm always seeking answers immediately so that i can take my time to decide.
now i'm on the other side of the coin, having to provide answers immediately, and constantly waiting by tenterhooks for replies from my clients. and i am absolutely stressing my head off.
their replies mean the difference between a sign up and a wasted effort, or sometimes even worse, more effort before an answer can (if at all) make it's appearance.
i guess that's something that i need to learn and it's a good thing that i've made my choice to stay in the business. i'm gonna make good on myself to get to that level of cool-headed-ness!
Calming myself down,
Jessica
