JACKIE TCHONG
Sales team lead
Sharp Insurance
CALGARY, ALBERTA
Last year was a great one for Sharp Insurance’s Jackie Tchong. He closed out the year with over $1.9 million in revenue across 1991 policies written for over 900 clients. He also achieved the top sales of the year award at Sharp, after only starting with the company in mid-2014. As sales team lead for the Calgarybased insurance broker, Tchong specializes in personal insurance, while also working in small business commercial lines.
For Tchong, his secret to success is simply helping others succeed: “I firmly believe that when you are working in a team environment, the key to success is helping others succeed. It feels great when I can assist others in any way.” As for what he thinks makes an elite broker, Tchong believes that a broker needs to look beyond the policy. “My opinion on what makes an elite broker is a broker who understands that it takes more than just simply selling a policy to a client, but managing the account once coverage is bound. Although it is not an easy task, it is very rewarding when you are able to retain the business.”
