Home sharers’ policy ideal for students

A student house is a dream come true for burglars. With multiple occupants (many of whom will in all likelihood have at least some of the student must-haves such as TVs, laptops, mobile phones, MP3 players and many other gadgets besides), the burglar can make a clean sweep in next to no time.

Sadly, when students get together to share a house, insurance is not always uppermost in their minds. They are far more likely to spend time devising a washing up or cleaning rota than spend time surfing the net looking for a suitable policy.

Endsleigh Insurance have recently come up with a novel policy which should make life a lot easier for those sharing accommodation this academic year.

3 More Practices that Go Against the Grain

Apologize like a human being. Everyone makes mistakes. So why, when you send out a letter of apology or email or make an apologetic phone call, do you end up sounding like a robot? “I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused” not only downplays any problem your customer may have had, it also just sounds insincere. Own up to the failure completely (no blaming anyone but yourself) and in plain, simple words, say you’re sorry for the mistake.
