Dedicated insurance agent with expertise in client satisfaction and retention.
What I'm looking for
As an Independent Life and Health Insurance Agent, I have successfully utilized targeted Facebook Ads to convert leads into sales, achieving a remarkably low Cost Per Lead (CPL) of $12.20. My commitment to educating clients on term and whole life coverage has resulted in a 90% client retention rate and a 95% satisfaction score. I pride myself on building strong relationships with my clients, ensuring they feel informed and supported throughout their insurance journey.
Previously, I served as an ACA Marketplace Specialist at Blue Cross Blue Shield of SC, where I assisted over 150 clients in selecting suitable ACA Marketplace plans. My role involved conducting weekly consultations and resolving enrollment issues, maintaining a 95% client satisfaction rate. Additionally, during my tenure as a Medicare & ACA Sales Agent at Enhance Health, I exceeded monthly quotas by 20% and hosted educational workshops that increased client referrals by 25%. My diverse experience in the insurance industry has equipped me with the skills to thrive in fast-paced environments while delivering exceptional service.
