... x No Thanks Loading.. Are Antiquated Phrases Hurting Your Business?4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Gary Blake This content has not been rated yet. As someone who travels from one insurance company to another teaching Effective Business Writing for Claims and Risk Management Professionals, ' I'm often amazed by how many claims letters are weighed down with stodgy phrases reminiscent of the 19th century. How many letters do you see each day that contain enclosed please find, ' under separate cover, ' and please do not hesitate to contact me'? I recently gave a seminar at a 200-employee insurance firm in upstate New York. One of the claims adjusters showed me the claims department's book of form letters. There were more than 80 of them, not counting ones that had exclusionary language by ... . Each of these letters is sent out an average of 30 times a month. 80 x 30 = 2,400 letters a month x 12 months = 28,800 letters a year. Only four of those awful outdated phrases per letter would total more than 100,000 in a year! If you think this stilted language isn't hurting your business, think again. These phrases not only alienate the insured and engender a distant tone, they chip away at the long-lasting relationships your company seeks to maintain. They damage a claims professional's relationships with doctors, attorneys, insurance commissioners, and colleagues alike. Risk managers (who write internal audits, loss control recommendations, risk reports, and answers to inquiries) also must eliminate stodgy phrases from their documents to enhance their range of relationships. ...

... inaction. Here are tips that can dramatically change the selling atmosphere at your agency, improve the bottom line, and foster the development of your own group of wondrous salespeople: Change focus. The focus of your company must change from selling insurance to active competition. Your mystical mission statement sounds great in print, but probably means nothing to your customer or your sales force. You must replace this antique with a reality statement such as, Our goal is to replace XYZ Agency as the No. 2 company in our marketing territory! ' Without this extremely narrow focus, you don't stand a chance of motivating your sales force to action. This change of view will probably engender a fight with your staff, but unless you make a decision to do something concrete-and let your sales force know the ... x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading..

... solution that accomplishes the goals of carriers, agencies, and clients. Carriers want direct interaction with their clients to improve their efficiency. Agencies must reduce their overhead to attain profit efficiencies. They must also use their limited human assets to their best advantage in relationship management. Clients just want simplicity. Younger and automation-savvy clients want to handle their routine insurance processing without visits to their agents or adherence to antiquated "business hours." They now reside in a 24/7 world of e-mail, text messaging, and automated banking and bill paying. They expect our industry to follow suit. Those clients who still want individualized personal service expect their agent to be the single point of contact for all of their insurance needs. Using the agency automation system to its greatest advantage will create fully secured portals ... x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading..

In many respects, download replaces what's fast becoming the antiquated system of mailing paper documents. Although download is more common in Personal Lines, its use with Commercial files, as well as billing and loss information, is rapidly increasing. &# 160  A download file is usually sent each night to the agent's mailbox.

... irrelevant. In fact, relying on "selling skills" to get the order is an indication that a company has no marketing. Everyone in business receives calls that start out something like this: "A couple of weeks ago, I sent you information about our company " This is a call that goes nowhere today. Of course, salespeople (very good ones, too) run from such antiquated and stifling working conditions. Trying to make the sale when prospects lack a clear understanding of why it's in their best interest to talk to you wastes your company's time, personnel, and money. Jacking up commissions or lowering the price only drives up the cost even higher. The role of marketing is to create the right environment for selling to be successful. Without marketing, the cost of ... x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading.. x No Thanks Loading..
