💡PRO TIP:
If any of these issues arise from a newly bound or recently rewritten policy, the policy must be returned to the originating agent who wrote the policy. The agent should speak with the insured before any reassignment occurs. It is essential that we maximize upfront underwriting and handling of subjectivities. We must also ensure that the client and agent is fully aware of all discounts and onboarding processes from the carrier.
These include the following processes but are not limited to: underwriting cancellations, recommendations, additional information, inspections (completed or not)
Some other examples but are not limited to: installing dashcams, enrolling in UBI (Snapshot, Intellidrive), providing proof of repair, garaging address verification, opting into a paperless discount, etc.
Renewals will be handled by the renewal team in your department

Here are some options for the what if situations that may arise. We want to empower you with a plan rather than having to scramble. 💪
🤔 What if we received an inspection results document?

.
🤔 What if the client does not respond, how many times should I follow up?
