Join Chris Paradiso, Owner of Paradiso Insurance, Frank Sentner, Principal of Sentwood Consulting, and Ron Shroyer, VP of Sales from Aureus Analytics, as they discuss how sentiment and predictive analytics can be used to grow your agency.
Staying in touch with your customers has become more important than ever, especially with the changes we are all facing in our daily lives. Agencies need to work smarter, not harder to understand what their customers are experiencing and what challenges they may be facing. By doing so, your agency will continue to grow and separate yourself from those agencies that are not reaching out to their customers.
One of the main challenges for independent agencies continues to be finding new revenue opportunities within their existing customer base. Typically, account rounding is performed on an annual basis approximately 60 days before policy renewal.
In today’s world, if your agency doesn’t find the opportunities or “the diamonds in your backyard” that exist within your customer base, your competitors will.
By incorporating sentiment and predictive analytics with your existing customer data, your agency can develop a better understanding of your customers. This will result in improved relationships as a trusted advisor while writing better-qualified business for your carriers.
Sentiment analytics is used to measure customer sentiment.
Predictive analytics is used to understand customer behavior.
Both are needed to take the next best action proactively.
Using a “loyalty score,” Owners, Agents, Account Managers and CSR’s will know the right point in time to start discussions with customers to expand relationships. Marketing can monitor and determine the best time to promote specific offerings to the different segments of your agencies’ book of business.
