OnlyFinance is now looking to recruit an additional eight new sales agents per month to handle the anticipated volumes of new business.
“We have an expanding stable of new products getting near to launch stage, including mortgage payment protection insurance (MPPI) and standard payment protection insurance (PPI),” said managing director Andrew Georgiou.
“Now we need to train new agents to be based in our City call centre – and we are offering the additional incentive of fast tracking new staff for Chartered Insurance Institute qualifications,” he added.
Along with ensuring that consumers using OnlyFinance.com will get the best possible customer service levels, the new training scheme will enable the company to offer telephone-based advice, rather than simply execution only facilities.
“We are aiming to increase the life division’s sales by 400 per cent over 2007, partly through our expanding product offerings and partly by developing areas of the market which as currently not so accessible to all-comers,” said Georgiou.
