In December, I will be retiring from West Bend Insurance, after 40 years with the company. The last 37 years involved managing a Minnesota sales territory, calling on independent insurance agencies throughout the state. A part of the job I enjoyed was being on the road and seeing our Great State from behind the wheel, logging nearly 1.3 million miles over the course of those years. I am personable and outgoing, wishing to combine my interest in driving and engaging with people in a public transportation setting.
For the last 37 years of my 40-year tenure at West Bend, I managed a Minnesota sales territory for the company, involving appointing/terminating independent insurance agencies throughout the state to represent West Bend and sell our property & casualty insurance products.
Communication skills: With well over 1000 people that I work with in my job responsibilities, insurance agencies with 2-50 employees, plus co-workers at West Bend, it was necessary to make a personal/professional connection with each of them, learning & understanding their individual personalities and "what makes them tick" Then, strengthen that relationship with dependability
