Summary

I am Braden Hardin. I am dedicated and organized professional with outstanding relationship-building and problem-solving skills. Driven to exceed expectations and operate effectively in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Self-motivated team player adept at cultivating partnerships and building lasting relationships across all demographics and management levels. Dynamic and reliable with exceptional customer service and communication skills. My experience in insurance has made me efficient in generating and closing free, referral based leads. I have developed great skills in relationship building and networking. To be successful I was forced to push myself outside of my comfort zone to grow, learn and compete for business by making and maintaining relationships with the related careers to the Insurance industry. Not only did I get good at it, but it became my favorite part of my job which allowed me to succeed even more. I am planning on expanding my professional skills by joining a fast paced work environment that requires high skills in problem solving, decisive decision making, as well as extreme work ethic to serve my customers/clients to the best of my ability. The role I would like to succeed in next will be one where I can be a great team player but also be asked to perform well independently.
