An independent Insurance Consultant can save your company a considerable amount of time, frustration, and thousands of dollars in premium, deductibles, audits, and claims costs. When it comes to bidding out your insurance renewals, having a strategic game plan is absolutely crucial to garnering the best results possible.
To simply allow two or three or even four or more agents/brokers to work on gathering quotes for you is tantamount to throwing mud against the wall to see what sticks. That approach rarely — if ever — delivers the best result.
Is there a better way to ensure the best possible quotes with the absolute lowest premiums available in the marketplace? Yes, there definitely is!
But if you’re wondering why you should even consider an independent insurance consultant to handle the quoting process on your behalf, these 15 reasons will be a great start.
Why You Should Hire An Independent Insurance Consultant
1. Business is very tough at the moment and you need to reduce your insurance costs.
In almost every case, our insurance consulting services pay for themselves (and then some!) in premium savings, time and effort.
2. Your insurance premiums are going up.
As an independent insurance consultant, we can help you find the best insurance at the lowest price, without having any ties to any insurers, agents, or commissions.
3. You’re not sure you have the right insurance coverages.
4. You received multiple bids from several agents and you want to know which quote and which agent is truly the best.
With only your interests in mind, we can help you make the right decision for your risk management program. We have a proprietary “coverage grid” that we feed all quotes through in order to do a proper side-by-side comparison and evaluation.
5. You’re having trouble getting a claim paid.
We’ve been there before, and we’ll help you navigate the insurance claims process.
6. You want more than just your brother-in-law (or friend) insurance agent to quote your insurance.
We will provide you with an easy-to-understand coverage grid, helping you sort out the costs, limits, issues and intricacies of every quote you receive. We can handle delicate relationships with discretion and advise your friend (your agent) which will give you the best possible outcome.
7. You get the feeling your current agent takes you for granted.
8. Your insurance policies are due to renew soon and you don’t have time to deal with it.
As an insurance consulting firm with many years of expertise in how the “game” works, we can save you time, effort, and—literally—thousands of premium dollars.
9. Several agents are hounding you to let them quote your insurance.
Bring in an unbiased insurance consultant to sort through the process and to accurately assign the right agents with the right insurers.
10. You want to be sure your insurance policy covers a claim you are concerned about.
11. You are doing business internationally (or multi-state) and you need to know both if and how your coverage will respond?
12. You want an unbiased opinion regarding your current insurance plan.
An agent’s commission and his/her relationship with certain insurance companies can limit your choices. As your independent insurance consultant, our counsel is unbiased.
13. Your agent dropped the ball and you don’t know what you should do or who to turn to.
As an independent insurance consulting firm, we possess the unbiased position to sort through the issues and refer you to a reputable agent familiar with your industry.
14. You’re an expert at your business but you are not an expert at insurance.
15. You’re considering adding a new coverage to your insurance program.
Is your agent earning a commission on the sale, or do you even really need the coverage at all? As an unbiased insurance consultant, we can help with the analysis and the decision.
16. BONUS REASON: You want to Save Time, Gain Peace of Mind, and reduce your insurance costs by as much as 55% annually.
We Do Not Sell Insurance.
Instead, we are independent Insurance Consultants hired by you to solely represent your interests. What we do is manage the insurance policy renewal process on your behalf by strategically directing both the marketing and negotiation efforts of your current broker — and any other pre-qualified brokers we bring in to gather quotes — which ultimately Saves You Time, gives you Peace of Mind in the process, and Reduces your Insurance Costs by as much as 55% annually.
