You've heard the saying before, "It's not what you know, but rather who you know." Well, if you leverage your relationship with your underwriter, not only will you have a better idea of what to write, but you will also have a better idea of what they personally will approve if you sell it. Take advantage of the opportunity to communicate with each carrier's underwriter, get to know them personally, and earn their trust to write better and faster business for your clients. That way, you will be able to take advantage of any Carrier Bonus Incentives that are being run at the moment. To learn more about how to use underwriters to write more and better business, join our Insurance Agency Group Coaching Program, where we discuss this topic and many more in great detail.

💭 Reflections on the Compliance and Training Solutions Ltd (CATS) Annual Conference 💭 Operations Director, Gillian (Davidson) Davies, CFA, had the opportunity to attend the CATS Annual Conference this week in London, and what an eye-opening experience it was! Gillian reflects on the day: "On the compliance front, it was clear just how busy 2024 has been with nearly 20 major compliance initiatives affecting our industry. Seeing them all laid out in one list really drove home the complexity of the work we’re tackling. And the best part? There’s still more to come! 📜" The rest of the day was equally insightful, with sessions covering a variety of critical topics: - Using LinkedIn effectively for professional growth - Challenges of US Resident clients - The power of silence in client meetings 🕵️♂️ - Tips for navigating Professional Indemnity insurance applications - Tech innovations in our field (although perhaps often hampered by a lack of collaboration 🤝) - An entertaining session on how NOT to sell your business to a consolidator! A big thank you to Mel Holman, Phil Hall and the team at Compliance and Training Solutions Ltd for organising such an informative and well-run event. It’s always valuable to step back, share insights, and learn from industry experts. 🙏 #compliance #finance #financialplanning #citywideway #womeninfinance

In the past several weeks I have been reading laymen’s books related to my industry (insurance). I have tried to read across the various elements present. Bill Wilson ‘s book When Worlds Collide is great for understanding the grey nature of policy language and the importance of qualified agents to help in managing (and preventing) claims. Chip Merlin ‘s book Pay Up is eye-opening to how claims can go badly and require a legal response. And Chantal M Roberts, CPCU, AIC, RPA, ITP ‘s book The Art of Adjusting is fantastic in explaining the role and challenges of arriving at a fair estimation of a claim. The important reality is to not form a hard and fast position on just one book or one side of the process. Find wise guides who are competent in their fields (which may not be yours) and construct a view incorporating their good advice. Be an active reader and hold presuppositions with a lose grip.
