Communicating with Vulnerable Customers
It is critical that everyone working in insurance and financial services
understands the definition of a vulnerable customer, how to identify a vulnerable customer and what the laws and regulations say. However, the critical next step of how to communicate with a vulnerable customer is often overlooked and lacking in most training sessions on the subject of vulnerable customers.
This training session corrects that by providing key skills necessary to ensure
that you are able to communicate clearly and effectively with vulnerable customers.
