The holidays are here again, and you may be searching for the right gift to give your staff—one that will not only show you care about their professional growth and success, but also be useful to them every day.
May we suggest the gift of knowledge? By simply giving each employee in your office their own sign-in and password to the free Big “I” Virtual University, (VU), you open them up to a whole new world of knowledge to help achieve their professional goals and your business benchmarks.
VU committee chair and agent Sue Knobeloch from ARM Northwest in Tacoma, Washington offers advice on how to get the most out of the VU, no matter what career stage you and your staff may be in—and the best ways to tout what this special package contains:
The VU is a gift at the beginning of a career, providing answers to all the unknown insurance questions—the ones that make you say, "Let me get back to you on that." The VU’s "Ask and Expert" service and hundreds of articles on insurance coverage and issues make your job easier.
The benefits continue mid-career, when an agent may know the answer but wants to check on updates to coverage forms or new exclusions before they tell the client something that may be incorrect. The VU also provides informative webinars on new coverage and what’s going on in the industry, offering agents fresh, insightful information to include in newsletters and other useful communication tools for informing and educating clients.
As an insurance career winds down, the VU can serve as a refresher on some of the little things that may have been forgotten—and stays just between the user and the VU.
Only a few shopping weeks remain, so what are you waiting for? Give all employees access to their login information to this member benefit today and make the difference for your agency, employees, customers and yourself.
