- Strategic Negotiation: Pitch client proposals to insurance companies and lead the bargaining process to secure the most competitive prices and widest coverage terms.

- Liaison & Communication: Act as the central point of contact between the insurance companies and our internal sales teams, ensuring everyone is updated on the status of a deal.

- Problem-Solving & Consultation: Take a helpful, "find a way" approach to every deal, looking for creative solutions when an insurance company is hesitant to offer terms.
