I would stay late on Friday and come in Saturday to finish it. I don't like to push things until their deadline, so getting it finished as soon as possible is the best way to ensure I am not right up against the deadline. Plus, I will then have time on Monday to review everything before I send it to the client.

14. Explain me about a time when you worked with a difficult client and how you came to a resolution?

I was meeting with a client who was trying to find private health insurance coverage for herself. Cost was a big concern for her, but her expectations regarding cost and coverage were unrealistic. She expected to pay less than $100 a month for coverage, along with low co-pays and a small deductible of around $500. I showed her the plans we had and explained how the monthly cost is usually higher if your co-pays and deductibles are lower, but she wasn't open to a high monthly cost. I decided the best course of action at this point was to step away from discussing costs and focus more on her specific needs. She was relatively young with no major health concerns, so I explained how she would likely only be using preventative health care services, which came free or with very low co-pays. I was able to find her an affordable plan that she was happy with just by approaching it in a different way.

15. Tell me in your position, you may end up working with potential clients who are skeptical about an insurance policy. What is your method for addressing negative reactions?

Hearing “no” for an answer is inevitable in insurance, and I view such scenarios as opportunities to learn about people's interests and apprehensions. Above all, I strive to maintain a positive relationship with potential clients. Even if an individual initially is disinterested in buying an insurance policy, I have learned that if I strike up a conversation, I can encourage the person to discuss his or her concerns. Then, I can adjust my offer to make it more appealing. My sales approach means that even if some people choose not to sign up for a particular policy during the first conversation, they will remember their experiences with me in a favorable light and may come to my company in the future.

16. Tell us what Is The Difference Between Insurance And Takaful?

Both insurance and takaful have similar basic principles. For instance, the insured, such as yourself, must have a legitimate financial interest in the risk you are insuring, meaning you must suffer a financial loss when the insured event occurs.

You can also buy more than one policy or plan to protect a particular risk but in the event of loss or damage, you can only make one claim. The amount payable will then be contributed by the insurance companies involved. As such, you cannot profit from your general insurance policy or takaful plan. If you suffer a loss, you will be compensated accordingly and no more than that. You will be paid or indemnified to the position you were in before the loss. However, if you wish to cover your life, you can buy more than one policy.

17. As you know we expect you to maintain proper certification and participate in ongoing training. How will you stay up to date with certification requirements?

18. Tell me what's unique about you? How are you different to all the other people we are seeing?

19. Explain me what do you feel is the most important aspect to maintaining a solid client relationship?

I think the foundation of any good relationship is communication. When it comes to clients, this not only means staying in constant contact but also being honest. I take all communications seriously and keep them professional and detailed. I find with clients that it is essential to explain everything in detail even if I think they may already understand. If they are confused, having extra details is very helpful.

20. Please explain why do you want to work in the insurance industry?

Because insurance sector is one of the fastest growing sector in india. And the career growth in insurance companies is also excellent.

21. Tell us what is the most important lesson you have learned as an insurance consultant?

The most important lesson I have learned is to never make assumptions. I was working with a small business owner to design employee insurance coverage. In my past dealings with small businesses, I had found they usually try to minimize their costs as much as possible while giving the employees adequate coverage. I assumed this would be the case again, but it turned out he wanted to provide excellent coverage for his employees regardless of the cost to him. I quickly switched my way of thinking and found him an excellent plan that was affordable, too. He ended up being very pleased and turned into a loyal client.

22. Explain me how can you contribute to the sales team?

When I first started working in insurance, cold calling was one of the most difficult aspects of the job because engaging people over the phone can be challenging. However, I worked closely with more experienced teammates to learn an effective sales pattern. Specifically, I learned not to lead with a sales pitch but to describe the benefits of insurance as a safety net when disaster strikes.
I also learned to strike up a conversation with potential clients, build rapport and listen to their concerns. That way I could tailor my approach and the package I offered to meet their needs. I have found these tactics to be very effective for making sales and building a loyal customer base, and I look forward to bringing these skills to your team.
