Fostering strong relationships with your policyholders is crucial for your ongoing success and integrity as an insurance professional. You likely communicate with your policyholders in the event of a claim or when it comes time to renew the policy, but could you provide more value? The more you invest in these additional interactions, the stronger your policyholder relationships will become.

However, we understand this requires time and resources. So, how can you achieve this when both are in short supply? This is where you can utilize the Business Resource Center to enhance and expand your communication efforts.

In your communications, include educational material like articles, checklists, videos and recorded webinars that provide information on how to take preventive measures to avoid loss. Additionally, highlight the availability of free or discounted services like the free HR consultation helpline and discounted background checks and screenings, as these can save your policyholders both time and money.

Here are some recommendations for how to create touchpoints with your policyholders:
