华体会 customer service center
Your agency is built on meaningful relationships, and you've worked hard to provide your customers the exceptional service they deserve.
But exceptional service does not mean having to handle everything. It means having deep, consultative relationships built on trust.
Unfortunately, many agents get stuck spending their time on the transactional aspect of these relationships, and not enough time on what will grow their business. And, with agency talent becoming more expensive and harder to find, many agency owners find themselves walking a tightrope.
That's why now is the time to talk about partnering with the Hanover CSC.
What makes your agency different from directs
Your customers' trust in you goes well beyond answering billing questions - any direct carrier can do that. Your relationships are built on you being a trusted adviser who proactively looks out for them and their unique needs.
Agents who leverage service centers are empowered to have their staff focus on providing that next level of service customers deserve. Imagine how your agency could grow if your staff wasn't preoccupied with handling transactional calls.
Proactive outreach
You could proactively reach out to clients to lend your expertise at renewal time.
Focus on prospecting
Your existing staff could be generating new customers for your agency.
More community involvement
When you build your brand as a local community leader, you become the agency locals think of when they think of insurance.
The state of agency staffing today
Roger Sitkins, a well-known insurance industry expert, estimates that 80% of customers generate only 20% of your revenue, yet they use up 70% of your expenses. So it has long been the case that a service center is truly the most cost-effective way to handle your agency's day-to-day while your staff focuses on agency growth.
But there is a new factor to consider as well: today's hiring environment. The talent you have is getting more expensive to retain, while departing staff will be getting harder and more costly to replace. This is why this is an urgent time for your agency to discuss adopting the service center model.
