Hi, I‘m Markus Kettunen!
I represent Pohjola Insurance, OP Life Insurance and Ilmarinen Pension Insurance. No matter your situation, I’m ready to help you find the best solution to meet your insurance needs.
I am Markus Kettunen, an insurance representative in the Tampere area. I represent Pohjola Insurance, OP Life Insurance and the pension insurance company Ilmarinen. I have worked as a representative in Pirkanmaa since August 2013. Before that, I worked as a service advisor at Osuuspankki, in my home town of Sodankylä. In addition to learning a lot about banking, I also developed a keen interest in insurance. I wanted to delve deeper into the insurance side, so I applied for an insurance representative position in Tampere. Now, during my more than ten-year insurance career, I have been able to expand my expertise, especially in the areas of business insurance and pension insurance.
English has always been very dear to me. I learn languages quite easily, and I picked up English like a natural from games and movies when I was young. I was already planning to apply to study English linguistics, but the army got in the way and changed my plans. During my service period in the army, I worked as an interpreter for a fellow service member who spoke a foreign language, affording me the opportunity to make use of my good command of the language. Maybe it gave me the motivation to focus more on sales and service – without forgetting the English language. Once my military service obligations were fulfilled, I was accepted to study international business at Rovaniemi University of Applied Sciences. This degree programme was entirely in English and the group was truly international. I supplemented my Bachelor of Business Administration degree with Masters studies in 2020, when I graduated with an MBA from Häme University of Applied Sciences. This study programme was also in English.
No matter where you are in Finland, MK-Vakuutus is there to handle all of your insurance needs with comprehensive service, in both Finnish and English.
In my work as an insurance agent, I have noticed that many terms in the field can be difficult to understand. I try to make the everyday life of my foreign-speaking customers easier by serving them with good English. I research and help them to understand what every term means, and I always offer the most suitable solution for the customer’s situation in understandable and plain language.
When I was in high school, I worked at Sodankylä K-market and learned valuable lessons in sales and customer service from the shopkeeper. I fondly remember being told to, “Love customers and consider them in every situation. Also feel free to throw personality into the game. It’s always nice to do business in a good atmosphere.” I have tried to follow these instructions in all of my work tasks and throughout my career. In Lapland, they say “ei sole poka mikhän, tehemmä pois” – loosely translated as, “it’s no biggie, so let’s get it done.” This well describes the attitude with which I strive to handle my work: challenge accepted, let’s see how it can be handled as well as possible!
