9 GROWTH SECRETS FOR INSURANCE PROFESSIONALS

1. Cut The High Cost Of Paper Bureaucracy

Insurance eSignatures slash the transaction costs of basic policies. Customers estimate that in-call eSignatures save more than $15 dollars per transaction. That reflects savings in paper costs, faxing/scanning/emailing time alone - not including agent calling time.

2. Shorten Sales Cycles & Improve Closure Rates

Customers are most inclined to close the deal when you are speaking with them. That makes it critical to complete documentation and signatures while you are with them. Agents estimate that the likelihood of closing customers halves every few days. This underscores the importance of closing business while you are speaking with clients.

3. Eliminate Time-consuming, Frustrating Errors

Eliminate errors and frustrating rework associated with sloppy paperwork. Use pre-configured smart eforms and guided eSignatures to eliminate errors like missing data and signatures.

4. Reduce Legal & Compliance Issues

Audited, court-admissible documented client interactions surpass ESIGN regulation and enable insurance professionals to execute binding policies with unparalleled simplicity: customers can sign policies from their mobile phone with their finger.

5. Increase Customer Satisfaction

eSignatures and in-call documentation make it easier to work with insurance professionals. Customers are demanding this simplicity and ability to transact from their mobile phones. By providing solutions that exceed customer expectations, agents see improved retention and referrals.

6. Shorten Time To Commission Payout

Help customers instantly complete and submit their forms to expedite forward processes. By simplifying these processes, professionals actually speed up processes and shorten time until agents receive their commissions.

7. Improve Productivity

Agents can spend more time with customers and less time managing back office paperwork. That means that with customizable eforms and instant eSignatures, agents can create and sign customers on policies and claims in real time. No call backs, scans or emails.

8. Eliminate Risk

Using ESIGN-approved technologies, agents create flows that can eliminate any further disputes that they “weren’t shown that disclosure,” or “opt out of that coverage.” Tamper-proof, audited trails document exactly where and when customers opt into coverage terms.

9. Offer Unparalleled Convenience
