  • Understand competitive and market-level dynamics and implications; independently recognize those that must be brought back to Dental Senior Management Team

Client Management Key Responsibilities

  • Meet or exceed persistency goals for assigned territory
  • By assimilating output from multiple operating systems, provide consultative support to our customers utilizing Dental Benefit Insight Reporting Tools
  • Drive successful retention and growth of existing Book of Business; as needed provide proactive and consultative dental subject matter expertise on large and/or "at risk" cases within aligned market geography
  • Offer support to CIGNA Healthcare Client Managers in the face of client-facing service challenges; intervene with Underwriting to ensure competitiveness; delineate network strategies (as required) and ensure attainment of goals

Training/Coaching Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain all-encompassing knowledge and proficiency in CIGNA Dental's products and capabilities; accomplish this through attendance and active participation in ongoing monthly dental information sessions, monthly dental operating results reviews, training programs, etc.
  • Maintain a tight connection between the CIGNA Dental Organization and the aligned CIGNA Healthcare Regional sales team; promulgate the Value Proposition, emerging competitive information, and any other new information which helps to drive sales and reinforces partnership
