- Prepare an example of negotiating capacity, price or wording during a difficult renewal.
- Revise the controls needed for declarations, bordereaux, contract certainty and recoveries.
- Practise explaining a reinsurance recommendation to senior leaders in commercial terms.
- Think through how you would resolve a disputed recovery without damaging a key relationship.
Common mistakes
