How to Choose and Agency Management System

The decision to automate your agency or to change your current Agency Management System is a challenging endeavor—figuring out which one to choose, even more so.

Depending on which system you choose, your agency management system will have the functionality to be so much more than a simple database program that houses the names and contact information of your clients. It will empower you to make critical business decisions by providing visibility into all facets of your agency. It will also enhance customer service, streamline workflow and increase employee productivity in addition to providing E&O protection and much more.

There are currently more than 70 Agency Management Systems on the market, all with varying levels of functionality, support and pricing, and even in a best case scenario converting from one system to another is an investment in the future that takes time and resources.

For these reasons and more, taking the time up front to determine which system and vendor makes the most sense for your agency is very important.

Email Etiquette for the Independent Insurance Agent

Email is one of the fastest, easiest ways to communicate. With smartphones and constant access to the internet, email is available almost 24/7. However, the ease and familiarity of emailing can lead to poorly written, unprofessional communication when doing business. We tend to “speak” differently (read more relaxed) in our personal correspondence than in our business correspondence—it can be easy to forget who we are talking to and lapse into the vernacular when communicating with a client or prospect.

Professional environments and trusted agencies require quality written communication. In this eGuide, we’ll take you step by step through how to ensure your agency email correspondence is professional and well-organized. We’ll start with what to do before you write, and conclude with how to close an email in a professional manner. With these guidelines, you’ll be sure your agency is communicating in an efficient, effective way.

These community environments are important in both our personal and professional spheres.
