Trust – building trustworthiness and trusted advisor status
In the insurance industry, in particular, we often focus on developing our technical skills, and our product and service knowledge in the belief that this alone will be all we need to win new clients, and then provide great service to existing clients. But of course if the prospect does not ‘trust’ us sufficiently we are unlikely to be appointed in the first place, and if our clients don’t trust us, it will be more difficult for us to bring value, and our position will be constantly under threat. This session focuses on the importance of Trust in prospect and client relationships, and how to build it.

Therefore, brokers, underwriters and claims staff alike should understand the law of tort, as failure to understand this means protections may be inadequate and a fair presentation of risk may not occur. This webinar, presented by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular presenters in the UK, will in Alan's usual plain English way provide an overview of the law of tort. This webinar will be suitable for brokers, underwriters and claims staff as well as anyone studying for MO5 insurance law.
