There are many advisory positions where industry professionals have designations – doctors, lawyers, realtors, and your insurance adviser.
Why? Because these industries require professionals to hone in on an area of expertise. You would not want to speak to a dermatologist about back pain, just as you should not seek advice on workers’ compensation from an insurance professional specializing in life insurance.
We have discussed the benefits of using an independent insurance adviser here, but have you ever stopped to think about what the initials behind your adviser’s name mean?
