"The main reason I became an insurance sales agent is actually because I really enjoy meeting and socializing with customers. It is my favorite part of my job and it's the biggest reason I'm able to be successful in this work. In my previous job actually, I always spent my first conversation with every potential or current customer trying to get to know them a little more to create that relationship. One customer, in particular, I knew owned a restaurant in the area and was really passionate about their business. I spent about 20 minutes of our first meeting asking them about why they decided to open their restaurant and really getting to know more about them and their dedication to their business. Their business was discussed in every conversation after, and this customer told me before I left that my interest in their business was one of the reasons they chose to continue using our company for insurance. They felt there was an interest in not only providing them with insurance but in them as a person. I think this interest I have in truly getting to know each customer has helped me be successful as a salesperson."
