  • Advanced Objection-Handling Skills : Able to pivot quickly, reframe value propositions, and keep prospects engaged even in challenging conversations.
  • Results-Oriented Mindset : Passionate about prospecting, pitching, and closing deals with a relentless focus on hitting KPIs and contributing to revenue growth.
  • Industry Knowledge : Prior experience in the insurance sector or strong familiarity with insurance products and terminology is a significant plus.
