The consumer finds the right fit for their insurance needs and it's your agency. Now, they need to be able to easily engage your staff. And, when it's time to sign on the dotted line, many will look for a simple online application and want to complete the process via mobile-friendly e-signature and EFT payment.
1. Online Applications With Minimal Information Required From the Applicant
Most consumers are used to completing a quick web form to order service and they will want the same from their independent agent. This can be further simplified when the agent and customer can work on the file simultaneously. Additionally, any information the agent can backfill from public information will streamline the process. Utilize as many online databases for supplanting information as possible. The application also needs to allow the customer to choose coverage and billing options.
