What Independent Agencies Do When One-Size Doesn't Fill All
What Independent Agencies Do When One-Size Doesn't Fill All
We’ve discussed over and over again the changing face of consumer expectations. Rapidly developing technology has allowed industries to provide individualized attention to clients, and consumers have begun to expect the same care from all service providers.
As consumer expectations increase, independent insurance agencies need to provide greater convenience, customer service, and customization to differentiate themselves. However, independent agencies face several challenges to providing the extended support that most modern clients demand.
When agent efficiency leads to client dissatisfaction
Today, insurance clients want more than an annual check-in, and they need more when they’re going through a crisis than case management. In the aftermath of a catastrophic medical emergency or a natural disaster, agents are focused on expediting claims processing, which is exactly what they should be focused on. Unfortunately, that focus can make clients feel like a number rather than an individual.
Like all small businesses, it’s not unusual for independent agencies to be over-extended in terms of human resources. That makes providing personalized care to clients more challenging, and it makes providing additional support nearly impossible for busy agents.
