When it comes to insurance, people expect high standards of care. Whether they've suffered the loss of a loved one or the loss of their income due to sickness or injury, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

They want, and frankly need, to talk with someone who is empathetic, courteous and friendly. They have to know that someone cares.
