# Ways Customer Service Professionals Make Great Dental Insurance Brokers

By Tim Fitzgerald on Jun 10, 2021 2:00:00 PM

It’s no secret [being an insurance broker is a great career](https://blog.solsticebenefits.com/solstice-broker-blog/why-being-a-dental-insurance-broker-is-so-awesome) – but what exactly do customer service professionals bring to the table? As someone with customer service experience, you are uniquely equipped to become a dental insurance broker. Customer service mindsets help brokers retain and grow their client base. Your customer service background can go a long way in helping you build a successful career as an insurance broker - you can work flexibly and on-the-go, help people get the medical and dental care they need, and make a respectable living! Here are three ways your customer service skills can help you grow into an exceptional insurance broker:

###### **Client Retention and Connection**

This means you are a master of showing understanding and [empathy](https://blog.solsticebenefits.com/solstice-broker-blog/5-steps-to-showing-empathy-for-clients) to build client relationships and make yourself an invaluable resource.

###### **Quick Recognition of Pain Points **

Alongside empathy and fostering relationships, customer service professionals also know how to quickly identify client [pain points](https://blog.solsticebenefits.com/solstice-broker-blog/3-dental-industry-trends-brokers-should-know-and-share-with-their-groups) and find creative solutions quickly. This is great for retaining clients since you can resolve problems quickly and turn them into positive interactions. But it also can help brokers close sales by answering benefits questions quickly and offering clients plans and [value-added benefits](https://blog.solsticebenefits.com/solstice-broker-blog/help-your-clients-understand-value-added-benefits) that are exact solutions for their needs.

###### ** ****Increase Word-of-Mouth Sales from Existing Clients**

[92% of people](https://www.yotpo.com/resources/word-of-mouth-marketing/) are heavily impacted by word-of-mouth recommendations – and the best way to create them is to exceed client expectations and create personal connections. Brokers with customer service skill sets are key to this. As someone with a customer service background, you know how to approach client interactions in ways that foster a positive customer experience and create [brand loyalty](https://blog.solsticebenefits.com/solstice-broker-blog/stand-out-create-customer-loyalty) that makes each client a potential salesman for your future brokerage.
