WORLD-CLASS CUSTOMER SERVICE &# 160 by Diane Herbert and Pamela Millard &# 160 What sets your agency apart? What do you do better than other agencies? What do you offer that they don't? Why should people buy insurance from you? Everyone in your agency should know intuitively what sets your agency apart from the competition. Diane Herbert and Pamela Millard help you to meet or exceed customer expectations. &# 160 &# 160 When we ask those questions in our consulting practice, the answer is invariably, "Service. We provide great service." When asked what that means, we often hear "We truly care about our clients." "We return phone calls the same day." Or, "A real live person always answers the phone." Although those things are important, we doubt that your clients consider them special. They are (or should be) given. &# 160 In our 20-plus years of consulting with hundreds of independent insurance agencies and talking with thousands of agency personnel, we can count on our fingers and toes the number of times that we've had people give us concrete, meaningful expressions of quality customer service — even when the agency is in fact providing truly exceptional service to their clients. &# 160 In a service-driven environment such as the Independent Agency System, the value of what you provide is determined entirely by the customer's perception. The customer decides what value is. As ...

... x No Thanks Loading.. Customer Service, Mickey Mouse Style 4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Karen Flaherty This content has not been rated yet. Ask most agency owners what distinguishes their firm from the competition and the answer is almost always, We give the best service. Yet if you ask them what they mean by service, ' they have a hard time giving an explanation. I've always found it amazing that in an industry where we constantly claim that we sell service, ' we have no common words to define it, no standardized system to measure it, no performance guidelines to enforce it, and no evaluation system to monitor it. More than 65% of the CSRs I've surveyed say they've never attended a workshop or read a book on customer service skills. What's even more astonishing is that the main quality control system for customer service in the agency business is Errors & Omissions insurance. As an industry, we need to do more and do better at service. We should take lessons from customer service leaders like the Walt Disney Co. Disney theme parks get consistently high marks for service, despite the fact that they deliver that service via a young, minimum-wage staff who work in the blazing sun amid continually changing, technically sophisticated attractions, and which cost guests more money in a few hours than most of them earn in an entire week. To further credit Disney, realize that they serve thousands of first-time customers each day plus thousands of repeat customers who expect more and better service with each visit. Our job seems pretty easy in comparison. Our agencies ...

... x No Thanks Loading.. Effective Use Of Service Centers 4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , Annie Knox This content has not been rated yet. EFFECTIVE USE OF SERVICE CENTERS by Annie Knox Implementing these steps by Annie Knox will help you to realize the benefits of placing business in a service center, and make the use of service centers an integral part of your Small Commercial strategy. In our recent work with agencies, handling small Commercial Lines accounts has figured prominently in the overall recommendations for improvement. We've been surprised at the large volume of accounts with commissions of less than $1 ,000 that reside in both the "Select" departments and within the middle market and large accounts books of business. Many agencies struggle with monitoring growth in number of accounts by size. Even when strategic objectives are in place to grow in certain segments, small accounts seem to grow quietly to a larger and larger percentage of the overall book. This results in Account Managers spending a large amount of time on accounts that generate a fraction of the revenue in their books of business. When comparing the volume of accounts with the commission they generate, it becomes clear that, to make a profit, the agency must handle these smaller accounts in a streamlined way. Service Centers are one option of handling this type of business profitably. These tips can help you use carrier service centers successfully: Set the client's expectations up front about using the service center. Many agents are selling new accounts without communicating clearly about how the policy will be serviced. Customers call the agency expecting service, and ...
