Many small commercial insurers are leveraging data to make underwriting decisions with greater speed and precision. But some data that’s available is not useful for small commercial insurers and creates extra “noise” for already busy underwriters.

We recently spoke with Tracey Waller, director of small commercial underwriting at Verisk, to learn how to cut through the data noise in small commercial underwriting. During the discussion, we explored how focusing on the right data can help underwriters make more effective decisions and help agents capture and retain customers.
