Tiffanie Courtney Named 2022 National Outstanding Customer Service Representative (CSR) of the Year
Tiffanie Courtney, CIC, CISR, CRIS senior account manager for M3 Insurance has been awarded the most prestigious honor available to insurance customer service representatives: National Outstanding CSR of the Year by the National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research.
The Society of Certified Insurance Service Representatives (CISR) and the Society of Certified Insurance Counselors (CIC) selected Ms. Courtney as the national winner from a field of 35 state winners. After five national finalists were chosen, a panel of judges evaluated their individual contributions to the insurance community and essays written on the topic:
“Transferable Skills are learned from experience which includes prior careers, education, volunteer work, or personal encounters. What are the top three skills you transferred from outside the insurance industry to your current job role? Discuss how you leverage your skills, continue to develop and evolve them, and how you transfer your expertise to others to ensure perpetually exceptional customer service.”
In her essay, Ms. Courtney mentions the legacy that she would like to leave behind. She states:
It isn’t the large experiences that make you who you are. It’s the small ones. I am my own painting. Every brush stroke is a conversation, a touch, an opportunity to share, learn, guide, and reflect. We change directions and colors. When you look closely you can see each one but take a step back and see the whole picture, it’s a masterpiece! The masterpiece I want to leave behind in this industry is that I cared enough to take the time to make someone feel heard and important, to share my knowledge in a usable capacity, and to exceed expectations. Paving a path for others to see the potential in the industry and have a passion for service.
