What Agents are Saying

  • “Most clients have no idea what a hard or soft market is or means to them. But they do know when they have a problem, and if you are a problem solver, the value you bring them will increase you in their eyes. So be honest, educate your clients, and think outside the box when it comes to solving their risk and insurance needs. ”

    Bob Fee President, Fee Insurance
  • “This is your time to shine. You need to have a defensive and offensive strategy in your office — defensive in that you need to set up processes to retain clients. Your offensive strategy is to increase your marketing. When the market is disrupted, it is an ideal time to make sure you are very visible. Whatever strategies work for your agency — double down.”

    Michelle O'Connor O Connor Insurance Associates
  • “Work to deepen the relationships you have with your underwriters… They’re doing their best to navigate their corporate objectives from an underwriting and pricing perspective while striving to present a reasonable solution to their agents. Remembering that they’re human, too, and having candid conversations about what they need on a specific account, can go a long way in securing a favorable renewal.”

    Matt Simon President, Coverlink
