NOT completing onboarding checklist.

NOT using the management system - Omitting notes with adequate documentation or following the checklist.✍🏻
💡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
Technician reviews and make sure policy details are entered in the system like SIC Code, email address, mobile number, etc Customer name not all CAPS
Confirm a CSR is selected (split the workload up)
Confirm if rewrite was applied. Did another policy need to be cancelled?
Technician needs to check the carrier website for signed applications 📝 and/or our system for the signed applications.If application is missing alert team lead immediately.
Are there any trailing docs needed
Check Coverage Standards Video: Go to your department homepage (Personal, Commercial, or Trucking) and check the listed coverage standards of the policy LOB. We need to automatically apply our coverage standards at all time.
Does it meet Coverage Standards for this LOB? Are there any exclusions on this LOB? let team lead know. PIN NOTE.
Make sure carrier onboarding was completed (login to carrier website, UBI Snapshot Travelers, paperless, pay as you go, etc) If it is not done then alert team lead.
If manual, make sure manual policy was received and set up in the system. As well as check for accuracy
For Commercial Lines:
Get the Additional Insured forms and attach to folder
Make sure the Details Tab in EZLynx is fully completed.

Follow up no more than 2x (text, email, call) remember to set a deadline and let client know upfront. Let the carrier know in writing or over the phone the fact that the insured is not responding. Close out and let carrier know.
