I'm not one for scare tactics, but this has to be said before it's too late. Alert: Is Your Agency Handing Over the Reins to Carriers? Dear Independent Insurance Agencies, Here’s a hard truth: Carriers are quietly undermining your business. They've recognized their disadvantage in offering diverse coverage options and are now dominating the digital battleground. As we speak, they’re investing millions to simplify and automate their online platforms, luring the next generation of customers away from agencies like yours. So, what’s your countermove? From my observations, many agencies inadvertently push customers into the arms of carriers by: Including Carrier Links on Your Website – You might as well roll out the red carpet and direct your clients to them. Once they start getting quotes directly, your value diminishes—resulting in a loss for your agency. Encouraging Clients to Download Carrier Apps – It’s like placing the competition in their pocket. When they need a quote, they won’t turn to you. Another loss. Ignoring the Need for Digital Engagement – Failing to facilitate digital access? Your clients will just Google their carrier and bypass you entirely. And that's strike three. Ask yourself: How are you safeguarding your clients from forming a digital allegiance with carriers rather than with your agency? Act now. Your digital strategy isn’t just an option; it’s your shield against becoming obsolete. Guess what? We've got your back. #insurtech #insurance #GloveBox

🌐 Tech giant Google is reportedly looking to enter the centuries-old Lloyd's insurance market through a captive syndicate, according to The Insurer. This approach allows Google to manage its own risks or those it partially controls. Key points: 📝 Google has reportedly received "in-principle approval" for the syndicate. 📝Managing agent Apollo is involved in the discussions. 📝Captive syndicates are a new option for Lloyd's, launched in January 2023. 📝Benefits include cross-border business access without needing partners and reduced costs. This move signifies Google's growing interest in the insurance industry and its potential to disrupt traditional models. Whether it succeeds remains to be seen, but it's undoubtedly a development to watch in the insurance space. #insurance #insurtech #insuranceinnovation https://lnkd.in/d8JXAXUA

This tool is massive and a must if you are serious about growing your reach for your local business on #Google. https://lnkd.in/eMsSAmYh #localseoservices #InsuranceSEO #LocalFalcon #seostrategy

Jonathan Silverman, Director, Insurance Industry Solutions, Microsoft, talks about moving to the cloud and core system modernization by remembering Microsoft’s own journey. As a very large and complex business, they went through a lot of the same things carriers face. He asks key questions we should consider as we look at that journey to ensure we make the right decisions and move effectively for real reasons, not just because it’s new or we think we should.
