... Although consumers can benefit from this trend, it's important that all state and federal regulators be involved in this process. The ultimate goal, after all, is to protect consumers while creating a marketplace environment that allows agents, companies, and insureds to benefit from insurance transactions. Why partner in the first place? Because of their contacts with private and business clients, banks often are involved with their customers at the point at which insurance decisions are required. This provides banks with the opportunity to be at the right place at the right time for selling P/C insurance. Executives at both Travelers and Citicorp were very aware of this fact when they decided to unite. They recognized an excellent opportunity to expand revenues by taking advantage of the best both markets have to offer. In the end ... . The U.S. Supreme Court's Barnett Bank decision in 1996, however, changed all that. Even the independent agent associations no longer oppose the involvement of banks in the insurance process. Several independent agents I've spoken to recently see a business relationship with a bank as positive. This is especially true in small towns where the local bank concept still exists. An example is a recent relationship established between Van Den Huevel & Fountain Agency, a full-service independent insurance agency, and the National Bank of Sussex County, both located in Branchville, NJ. When deciding to develop a relationship with a local bank, Van Den Huevel & Fountain looked for a bank with the same culture and attention to detail they had always maintained. The agency's success to date is hard to measure because of the briefness of ...

... our client's need, it is imperative that we not only meet their service expectations but exceed them. So doing will build the agent/client relationship and help insure client retention. Two Approaches Two schools of thought exist on how an agency should handle claims, and both have advantages. The agency must decide which way is best for its needs and build processes that will enhance the quality of their customer claims service. Agency Claims Department: Some agencies have a person or persons who do nothing but handle claims. This can work very well as these people learn the claims procedures followed by various insurance companies. The downside is that customers are passed on to someone other than their agent. The more people a client must deal with, the greater the chance for customer dissatisfaction. This person is ... x No Thanks Loading.. Agency Claims Procedures: A Time To Shine 5/21/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Lois Van Horn This content has not been rated yet. Insurance agents sell clients a promise-an intangible product. It is nothing they can hold or enjoy and probably what someone told them they ought to have. It's an idea: peace of mind. They depend on their policy to take care of them if anything bad ever happens. Then something unpleasant happens, and clients call, knowing or hoping they have coverage. They might be upset or even angry about what has just happened. Great Expectations I finally get to USE my insurance, ' they say. And heaven only knows what the clients expect from us and from the coverage they've purchased. Perhaps they've been watching ...

E&O IN COMMERCIAL AUTO by Curtis Pearsall In virtually every Commercial ... agency, there's a good chance that most of your accounts have a Commercial Auto exposure and that you write this coverage for them. The type of risk determines the Auto exposure and, for many of those customers, the exposure probably involves vans and/or trucks of various sizes. Although "errors or omissions" from this line of business amount to only around 6% of E&O claims, when they occur, they tend to be much larger than with other coverages. What could go wrong? Because writing Commercial Auto is not overly complex, you might question what could go wrong. However, as with any line of business, knowledge of the product – as well of your customer's exposures – is essential. A great starting point is using an Exposure ...

... pages and pick a name. You may have singled out someone who would rave at your homeowners rates. Do the same thing in the yellow pages and you may have identified a contractor who would find your fleet coverage to be a perfect fit. In either case, you could just be a few touch-tones away from a new client. Of course, you could also be targeting someone else's satisfied customers who would praise their agents, laud their coverage, defend their rates, and bid you a good day-or just as likely, hang up in a huff. The trick is, obviously, to abandon random selection and somehow separate the likely prospect from the loyal policyholder-before you dial. As more and more insurance professionals are discovering a well-planned telemarketing effort can greatly increase and agent's chances of getting an ... party on the other end of the line and ultimately produce a significant number of new accounts. As a result, the telephone has moved to the center of sales strategies in insurance agencies throughout the country. Exact growth statistics for insurance telemarketing are currently unavailable, according to Lee Van Vechten, the Freehold, N.J., publisher of The Van Vechten Report, a telemarketing management resource. However, says Van Vechten, recent studies of the attitudes and expansion plans of managers in a broad range of industries show that telemarketing in general is growing by leaps and bounds. WHY TELEMARKETING? A number of factors account for telemarketing's recent surge in popularity within the insurance industry. Economic trends, for example, have made many independent agents more marketing-oriented. The recent hard market in this area forced agents to look ...
