Hirst emphasizes the importance of grasping their distinct needs, risks, and objectives. “By actively listening and actively participating in client interactions, insurance brokers can collaborate with MGAs such as CHES Special Risk to deliver customized solutions that effectively meet their insurance requirements.” said Gary Hirst.

Quality of Information in Insurance Applications

He underscores the significance of furnishing detailed and reliable information during the application process. By doing so, brokers can greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the underwriting process, resulting in more favourable terms and conditions for the insured parties.

Photographs of Risks

Visual documentation plays a crucial role in assessing risks accurately. Hirst advises clients to provide clear and detailed photographs of the assets or risks they wish to insure. These visuals can greatly assist insurance providers in evaluating potential risks and determining appropriate coverage levels, resulting in more accurate premiums and improved risk management.

Establishing a Personal Connection After Sending an Email

Although digital communication is convenient, Hirst recognizes the immense value of personal interaction. To cultivate a one-on-one relationship with the insurance provider, he recommends following up on email exchanges with a phone call.

By incorporating this approach, insurance professionals can enhance the overall client experience and ensure a more effective collaboration.
