PTP Insurance Agents of Naperville, IL, an independent insurance agency

So what sets the independent agent apart? Independent insurance agents are local in the community and have invaluable community ties to customers and potential customers. They have the ability to ask questions in order to better understand a customer's insurance needs and are informative about their options. By talking to customers and getting more information, an independent insurance agent can recognize opportunities where additional policies, greater coverage, or future policies may be required and/or needed. It's not just about providing low-cost insurance to customers - it's about creating a relationship built around providing the right kind of insurance. Independent insurance agents give expert and knowledgeable advice about potential options and recommendations. It's important that insurance agents understand some of the standard questions posed by customers and how to answer those questions. This is where the independent agent has the opportunity to shine. By not assuming that people understand every aspect of their policy, agents can take the opportunity to explain policy information and serve as a trusted source of guidance. Good agencies practice continuous learning. Just because an agent has a career in the industry doesn't mean they should stop 'going to school.' Industry certifications can set one agency apart from another and keep agents at the top of their game. Independent insurance agents provide customers the ability for one-stop-shopping. By understanding and explaining how policies and coverage can be affected by a variety of factors, agents have the opportunity to help their customers be more comfortable with their coverage and, as a result, turn to the agency with rate and policy questions. If an independent agent is doing their job the right way, a customer won't look elsewhere for lower rates - they will come to you for answers. Independent agents provide expert claim advice. Nothing can be scarier than getting in an accident and not knowing what to expect. The best agents will be advocates for their customers, helping them understand the claim process and making sure they, as people, are okay. True customer service works when you create a personal relationship with the customer, and take proactive measures to foster that relationship. They have the ability to correctly match the customer with the carrier that best serves the customers' needs. No single company is going to be the lowest price all the time, and independent insurance agents have the flexibility to work with multiple insurance companies on the customer's behalf. Creating solid relationships with customers should go beyond providing insurance at the lowest price. Instead, it's more important than ever to understand customers and provide them with the best solution at the best possible price. The lowest price can be the most expensive price if the customer's needs aren't met. A good independent insurance agent will provide the customer with the right solution and service that is personal, personalized and proactive. Return to Articles Home Page.
