Price
Price is important to anyone – personally or professionally. However, it is critical to understand that no matter which brokerage or insurer you are working with, the specific variables and/or needs of your protection will influence the insurance premium or cost for the policy. Factors such as: the liability limit for the policy, required coverage or deductible, where the insured property is located, and even specific characteristics of the property will influence overall policy premium.
Service and Reputation
Working with a broker/brokerage with a solid reputation for service will be instrumental –especially in the midst of a claim (minor or severe). Often cited as a top consideration when selecting which insurance brokerage to work with is the reputation the brokerage has for efficient and friendly claims management.
Another telltale sign regarding customer satisfaction is a brokerage’s “ Retention Rates”. The percentage of policies that are renewed with a brokerage will send a clear message about their level and effectiveness of customer satisfaction. Customers stay longer when they are satisfied with the service they have received, whether it involves a claim or not. Your insurance broker can provide you with this information, before you decide which of their carriers you will opt to select for your insurance policy(ies).
