Dedicated inside sales representative with strong customer service skills.
What I'm looking for
As an Inside Sales Representative at Cigna, I handle both inbound and outbound calls, educating clients on various insurance plan options. My role involves assisting clients in selecting suitable coverage tailored to their needs while ensuring compliance with CMS guidelines. I pride myself on maintaining detailed documentation of client interactions in CRM systems, which enhances our operational efficiency.
Previously, I served as a Leave Specialist at UNUM, where I efficiently managed customer complaints related to FMLA leave claims. My focus on accurate documentation and follow-up calls significantly improved customer satisfaction. My experience as a Customer Service Representative at Blue Cross Blue Shield further honed my skills in resolving complaints and ensuring timely service delivery, which I believe is crucial in any customer-facing role.
With a background that includes roles in customer service and even as a Hair Stylist, I have developed strong communication skills and the ability to build lasting professional relationships. I am committed to providing exceptional service and continuously improving my skills to better serve clients.
