The insurance industry is undergoing rapid digital transformation fueled by the average consumer’s desire/willingness to engage online. In a study released by EY Global, 80% of customers said they were willing to use digital and remote channel options for different tasks and transactions.
Digitization has the potential to dramatically increase customer engagement at a lower price point – both perennial challenges for the industry.

Have you ever thought about how many instances there are in a day where you influence other people? The budget you need to get approval on, the client who is so close to signing on the dotted line, the colleague who can’t decide between pizza or salad for lunch.

So when you come across these moments where you have the potential to influence another person, you want to be as successful as possible.
I recently had the chance to speak about Critical Influencing Skills for Advancing Professionals at the 2016 TAI User Group Meeting.

Wikipedia will tell you customer service “is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase." According to Turban et al.
