View event detailsNegotiation Skills for Claims Staff
Why this? Negotiating is such a key part of claims. And yet, very often, claims staff receive little training on how to handle these conversations. This means that relationships can sour, claims can escalate and costs rise. What is this? This interactive and practical session will address some of the typical challenges faced by claims staff. By the end of this session participants will be able to: • Prepare so that common mistakes can be easily avoided • Get their point across with more authority • Use a technique to get claimants to listen to them Who is running the session?
