Throwback: Get More Signed BOR’s Through Superior Customer Service

Key Quotes:

“As insurance agents, we have done things over the course of time that has hindered our trust with prospects, insurance buyers, in the marketplace, and our reputation out there in the world. And a lot of it is because we provide a lot of verbal exercises and not a lot of follow-through.” - Charles Specht

“If we can alleviate this particular problem. If we can address it right up front, then we can provide a solution to overcome it, we can implement something that will cause the insured to actually see that you are the more obvious choice of which agent to do business with, you will collect more signatures on signed broker of record letters, you will then serve happiness, and you will have a lot of happy clients going forward.” - Charles Specht

“Brokers who promise a lot, but provide poor customer service after the sale is one of the main reasons why your prospects don't trust you. You have to have a solution to that problem. And I'm telling you that the 12 month written timeline of services is probably one of the best ways to overcome this problem.” - Charles Specht
