We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Sherri Matheney. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Sherri below.
Sherri, so good to have you with us today. We’ve got so much planned, so let’s jump right into it. We live in such a diverse world, and in many ways the world is getting better and more understanding but it’s far from perfect. There are so many times where folks find themselves in rooms or situations where they are the only ones that look like them – that might mean being the only woman of color in the room or the only person who grew up in a certain environment etc. Can you talk to us about how you’ve managed to thrive even in situations where you were the only one in the room?
I’ve learned to be effective and successful by embracing who I am. I love that that I’m the only one in the room that looks like me. It makes me different. I feel like people like others who are themselves and not pretending to be someone they’re not. It helps be successful because that also builds trust.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I help self employed and small business owners find affordable health coverage. I take time to get as much information as I can to help you find a plan that fits your particular needs. I love health insurance because people need it and I see often that things happen and it feels awesome to know someone won’t go into debt because of hospital bills. I get excited when I save anyone money!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I know the market and what plans are available, I have over 10 years in the business and I’m super honest on what plans cover and what they do not. I will never sell you a plan without you fully understanding how it works.
My advice to anyone early in their journey is study and know what you’re selling. Fully explain to everyone what they have and answer the phone when clients need you!
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
I love a good referral partner! I love to collaborate with financial advisors or life insurance agents. I love to collaborate with anyone that we can refer each other business or support each other.
