Securing Producer Loyalty: Insurance Carrier Strategies for Optimizing Agent Retention and Productivity

Executive Summary

Agents are motivated not only by commissions but also by an overall positive business experience. This should include rapid, accurate, no-hassle payments, detailed statements and 24-x-7 information access—all of which are now possible with the right technology.

Like never before, technology is offering extraordinary opportunities to remedy longstanding problems involving payment accuracy, payment frequency, commission transparency, dispute resolution and more. To secure producer loyalty and thus maximize profits, insurance carriers must make it easy for representatives to do business successfully. An effective technology solution is the primary strategic tool for building a loyal, committed and highly productive channel.

Technology also empowers carriers with improved business processes along with the ability to increase the mindshare of the producer pool and drive sales behavior. In addition to increasing efficiencies and presenting a more sophisticated image, carriers can now deploy new incentive programs quickly and effectively. The good impression carriers make on channel members turns into ongoing agent loyalty that promotes increased long-term productivity.
