    Master the Retention Conversation: What Hiring Managers Probe

    This role lives at the intersection of client trust and business growth. Hiring managers will want to see that you can manage relationships, spot risks, and keep clients engaged — not just smile and take notes.

    1. Show your client retention wins: On your CV, quantify how you improved client satisfaction or reduced churn in past roles. For example, mention a retention rate improvement or a successful renewal you managed.

    2. Understand the insurance landscape: Brush up on group insurance products, employee benefits, and the regulatory environment in Kenya. Be ready to discuss how you'd handle a client query about policy terms or claims.

    3. Prepare for scenario questions: Expect questions like “How would you handle an unhappy client?” or “Describe a time you coordinated across departments.” Use the STAR method to structure your answers.

    4. Highlight your communication skills: This role demands clear, persuasive communication. Bring examples of presentations or reports you've created for clients or stakeholders.

    5. Show your analytical side: Be ready to talk about how you use data to spot trends or risks. Mention any experience with CRM tools or data analysis.

    6. Emphasize your integrity: Handling confidential information is key. Share how you've maintained confidentiality and adhered to compliance in past roles.

    7. Know the company: Research Old Mutual Kenya's products, values, and recent news. Tailor your answers to show you understand their client base and market position.

    8. Ask smart questions: Prepare thoughtful questions about the team, retention strategies, or digital tools they use. This shows genuine interest and initiative.
