We are a business where honesty, integrity, and trust are at the heart of our values. We champion the personal approach to customer service that NFU Mutual is famous for.
An exciting opportunity has now arisen within the Canterbury and Sittingbourne Agency.
About the role:
As a Customer Service Advisor within our team, you’ll be working at the very heart of an expanding local business. Once trained, you will specialise in insurance and financial services and be able to provide exceptional customer service when handling new enquiries, alterations, and renewals. Responsible for generating new business, you will plan, prospect, and manage your own leads. Proactively maximising sales by both cross-selling products to existing clients and generating new business, you’ll apply your excellent telephone manner to make the most of every prospect and promote the organisation at every turn. This includes introducing our Financial Services offerings which are delivered by our dedicated Financial Adviser.
About you:
You will be liaising with clients, Agents, and underwriters; therefore, excellent communication skills and a professional telephone manner are a must. You will demonstrate competent use of Microsoft software, Customer Relationship Management systems, and must display excellent literacy skills. The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and highly organised individual with a positive and can-do attitude. Previous experience of working within a similar role is desirable but not essential.
As a confident individual, you’ll consistently translate potential into revenue and will relish the challenge to drive growth of a truly customer-focused local business. We need an ambitious, friendly person with solid sales experience to make the most of all that potential. You’ll deliver the award-winning service NFU Mutual has become renowned for, introduce their respected brand, and sell its products to a whole host of new and existing businesses in the area. Attention to detail, the ability to multi-task, and a willingness to learn are also key.
Our commitment to you
We offer a professional, hardworking yet supportive and friendly environment with a strong team ethos and ethical practices. To allow you to perform to your best, we will invest in your personal development and provide a comprehensive training plan and the ability to develop your role within our business. You will be nurtured and recognised as a pivotal part of our supportive and successful team. If you believe you could contribute to our business and would enjoy sharing our lovely office environment, then we want you as part of our team.
Salary is dependent on skills and experience.
Closing date for all applications: 25th October 2024.
Please note you will be employed by an Agent of NFU Mutual and not NFU Mutual directly.
Whatever your role, as a key member of your agency team, you’ll enjoy the chance to develop your insurance industry knowledge and skills and build a rewarding career. For most roles, you won’t necessarily need an insurance background. It’s more about your personal qualities – your ability to learn quickly, develop strong working relationships with a range of different people, and give customers excellent service, with trusted advice and products.
Bring these qualities and you’ll be supported with a full range of training and development opportunities so you can build the career you want. These include the chance to gain an apprenticeship, as well as support to study for professional qualifications and full training in all aspects of the insurance industry.
