GhanaWhat I'm looking for
At Vanguard Life Assurance, I prospected for life assurance clients through cold calling, referrals, and networking. I assessed clients’ financial goals and recommended suitable life insurance and investment policies.
I explained policy features, benefits, premiums, and terms, then processed applications and coordinated with underwriting. I also followed up with policyholders on renewals and after-sales service.
At CECADO GABON, I advised customers, promoted product lines, and implemented a customer feedback system. I’m seeking a Sales Representative position where I can apply my customer service and sales experience alongside my marketing studies.
