Most insurance brokers would say they face immense competition and often have a difficult time differentiating their offerings and services. Would your brokerage agree? How do you ensure that your brokerage stands apart? Are you able to provide access to more competitive markets, or above and beyond service offerings to make sure your insureds are protected and feel secure with your company?

At myCOI, we speak with many insurance professionals, and we constantly see one trend emerge again and again: ultimately everyone has the same policy forms to sell. Therefore, no matter whether the insured selects a policy through them or through a competing firm, the policy form itself is very similar with few areas for differentiation. The professionals we’re speaking with are constantly seeking out ways that they can offer unique services to win new business and keep it for the long term. This means they have to add value outside of just a competitive premium—an absolute must in world of insurance.

How Can your Insurance Business Set Itself Apart?

Is your brokerage or agency looking for continual opportunities to talk to potential insureds or even current insureds in order to keep them engaged with your organization and add value? How are you doing that today? What are the topics you can discuss?

myCOI’s certificate of insurance tracking solution offers partnership options to insurance brokerages and agencies to help them differentiate their services and provide unique value and expertise to their insureds. How does myCOI accomplish this? The solution allows insurance professionals to differentiate themselves by utilizing myCOI Central, the insurance tracking software, as a retention tool to value-add for clients. Your firm may also choose to use insurance tracking as a way to create revenue by offering the compliance review services in order to build stronger relationships with clients.

Certificate of Insurance Tracking Can Help Boost Insured Retention

Many insureds are now beginning to ask if certificate of insurance tracking is included or offered as part of an brokerage’s services, creating a significant opportunity to boost retention and win new clients.

Your producers know all too well that most prospective clients (and existing ones) shop around when considering where to place their business. Providing certificate of insurance tracking as part of your portfolio will not only help your company stand out when competing for new clients, but it will ensure that you maintain your current book of business for many renewals to come.
