Name: Chris Sikorski
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, PARTNER
RENREW INSURANCE LTD.
CALGARY, ALTA.

Chris Sikorski secured fourth spot in the hotly contested top five broker survey, not by running the race more quickly, but by taking the time to get to know the clients’ needs.

“I invest a significant amount of time getting to know the client and their business,” says Sikorski. “Placing their business is just the beginning of that relationship in which I spend the time necessary to develop their trust and develop open lines of communication. Doing so allows me to match the needs of my clients; provide the proper coverage, terms and conditions, with the insurance supplier.”

Insurance isn’t about reinventing the wheel, says Sikorski, but finding new and innovative ways to make their services indispensable.

“In order to succeed, brokers must distinguish themselves from their competitors by having access to a broad scope of markets, recognizing and managing client risk and advocating for clients,” he says.

“The insurance industry is complex and constantly evolving, so professional development of the broker is key to ensuring that the client’s needs are met.”
