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.

Webinar - The Legal Principles of Insurance
The Legal Principles of Insurance
This webinar will provide a plain English overview of the main legal principles of insurance, which are:
1. Insurable interest
2. Proximate cause
3. Indemnity
4. Subrogation
5. Contribution
6. The duty not to misrepresent/ Fair presentation of risk
All staff working in the insurance industry should have a practical working knowledge of these principles and this one-hour webinar delivered by Alan Chandler, one of the most popular insurance presenters in the UK, will provide the practical knowledge of these very important pillars that underpin our industry.
This one-hour webinar will be useful for all brokers, underwriters, and claims staff and as they form the main basis of the CII exams very useful for anyone studying subjects such as IF1 and MO5.
