No matter which insurance company you work for, client contracts and policies containing complex legal language may be challenging for the typical layman to understand. Allstate is looking for assurances that your communication and customer service skills meet their standard. How you frame your answer to this question could potentially provide your interviewer with insight into how effective a communicator you are. Offer them a self-evaluation of your communication skills while trying to communicate as clearly and professionally as possible.

"I understand that insurance policies and contracts can appear complicated to my clients. I will walk them through each section before they sign and use simpler terms and analogies when needed. I have often had clients comment on my ability to relay the information to them in an easy-to-understand method."

"Yes, insurance contracts can be difficult to understand! I do not want to assume that a client is struggling, so I will let them go through the contract at their own pace and then encourage questions through all steps in the process."

I have experience walking the client patiently through the policy step by step in words and at a pace that they can understand. I encourage questions and use simplified examples when needed.

Great! It sounds like you are accustomed to walking customers through long insurance contracts and making sure they understand everything. It's good that you use simplified examples and encourage questions. Nice!

Insurance documents, just as mortgage documents, can seem daunting to those who do not see that paperwork every day. I found by asking the client if everything was clear to them, or did they need more explanation was the best strategy. Sometimes people don’t know what to ask, so trying to be as thorough as possible allowed me to feel like I did my best for them.

Great! Did you do anything beyond asking if they had questions? Did you use simple language to explain complex terminology? Did you use metaphors or pictures? Did you mention common questions and preemptively answer them?
