There are 40,000 brokers and agents all fighting for the consumer dollar in Canada – what makes you so special?
Reaching the top tier of elite broker means separating yourself from the herd, and that requires a very special set of skills, says Chris Sikorski of Renfrew Insurance Ltd.
“What does it take? I believe that in order to be an elite broker you must separate yourself from the pack,” says Sikorski. “You must differentiate yourself from the other 40,000 brokers and agents in the Canadian market place. A variety of skill sets are required to achieve this.”
Sikorski, who specializes in the construction and realty marketplace, told
Insurance Business that his top-selling product over the past 12 months has been construction/wrap-up liability and condominium corporation insurance.
“You must be motivated, a skilled negotiator, a specialist in your line of business, creative, hard-working, resilient and most of all, passionate about the business,” says Sikorski, who is a contender for the September issue of
Insurance Business magazine’s
Top 30 Elite Broker list. “All of these attributes will equate to success both with clients and insurance companies.”
It is the last week to take the
Top 30 Elite Broker survey to have a chance to make the list in the next issue of
Insurance Business magazine, and place yourself among the nation’s top brokers.
It is important that you complete the entire
survey, and provide the numbers and information that pertain to yourself, the broker, and not the brokerage as a whole.
The deadline for entries is this Sunday, July 27.
