Insurance Rate Increase Conversations - How to Win More Conversations

  As insurance rates go up so should the number of insurance policy reviews within your agency! Sticking your head in the sand and hoping that customers won’t call and complain about rate increases will only cause you to lose customers, revenue, and profit sharing. While you can’t save every customer, an effective policy review process will allow you to address the customers that are at high risk for flight. Examples are monoline customers, customers with a premium increase higher than a trigger amount, customers with glaring coverage weaknesses on their insurance policies, and customers that just need to know the agency has their best interest at heart and are more than cashiers and order takers for the carriers. In a world with A.I. Tools, your competitors are coming after your customers harder than ever. Don’t get left behind.

Snippet - How to Increase Insurance Agency Revenue by Conducting Great Policy Reviews

 Ask your P&amp;C Customer this question?  If it was two minutes before you knew you were going to die and I could only write and issue you one policy, what policy would you want me to write?  95% of your customers will say "The biggest Life Insurance Policy you can write!" (Of course, there is always 5% that will give you some reason like "I am not going to leave a bunch of money so she can spend it on her next boyfriend."  But . . . that is probably that same customer that drives a Range Rover with only liability coverage.)  If life insurance is so important that it is the last policy a customer would want you to write before they died, why are you not offering it to them now?  Insurance agents who specialize in Property and Casualty (P&amp;C) policies can expand their services and revenue streams by offering life insurance to their existing customers.  This is a smart move, as P&amp;C policyholders are likely to have a higher trust level with their agent which can lead to increased loyalty and more business opportunities.  Let us show you the Best Practices for effectively adding life insurance to your P&amp;C Agency product mix.

Ruben Arce

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5eMAvPfYppM  Ruben Arce of EPayPolicy explains and shows just how easy it is for any insurance agency regardless of how big or small to start taking online payments from their customers. Taking payment in an agency can be administrative quicksand or an opportunity to offer additional protections to a customer, it all depends on the mentality and workflow associated with taking payments. Ruben paints the vision of taking payments during a customer interaction from start to finish. The setup is super easy, and the cost is exceptionally cheap. The customer handles transaction fees, so the agency’s commissions are not reduced.
