Reaping rewards through hard work and dedication

 Making the Million Dollar Round Table

Hard work and dedication are a must for any success you desire." These have prompted the success of Natasha McDonald. Her hard work did not go unnoticed as, she also made the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) for Scotia Jamaica Insurance Company.

Shortly after receiving the honour at the recent MDRT annual meeting in Toronto, Canada, McDonald described her experience as one that was "great and fulfilling" as it allowed her to have an even greater appreciation of the insurance industry.

It's a great achievement, but McDonald also made 'The Court of The Table,' making her one of only four to do so. It is an honour reserved for those who display exceptional professional knowledge, client service, and ethical conduct.

McDonald acknowledges that the MDRT was among her long-term goals. "I knew it existed, pursued it and challenged myself each day to accomplish it," she said. This honour was a main goal for many other members, but McDonald achieved it by reviewing the previous one to see what strategies worked and what didn't. "My next step was to carefully plan ahead with new ideas gained through communicating with top sales advisors in the industry and reading widely about insurance and financial advising. This allowed me to customise a strategy that yielded this success," she added.

The insurance and financial advisor has been with her organisation for six years, during which she held various positions. Her future career plans include being a multifaceted advisor offering services in insurance, financial and investment sectors.

She continues to put God first and make confidence, optimism, integrity and enthusiasm be her daily guide. McDonald says her success was a team effort which included Ruth Campbell , regional manager, Charisse Williams, and Trezar Lopez, as well as the management and staff of her head office and the Scotia Centre branch.
