Streamlining the process to optimise your Business Pack placements

Understanding cover differences when processing Business Packages quotes is key to a streamlined system process. In this session, our experienced underwriters will take you through a series of scenarios that look at key pain points and common queries, that you can use to deepen your own understanding and skills.

We’ll follow the story of a new broker using QBE systems, including hints, and tips to successfully place a new and innovative client. This journey will take us all the way from the initial new business, through to referrals, endorsements, changes of activities, and other challenges as the policy matures. Together with the help of our friendly underwriting staff, we will discover how to generate faster referrals or remove the need for a referral altogether.

Join us as we present key tips, to equip you with knowledge to confidently place risks, and help you achieve faster resolutions and better outcomes for your SME referrals with QBE.

In this webinar we’ll discuss:

  • Common triggers and the information you need to provide to ensure faster response times and improved outcomes
  • How QBE SME is changing, and how it benefits you
  • How to get the best quote faster. Sending us the right information upfront can help us speed up the quoting process, so you can deliver even better service to your clients
  • How to adapt a quote or endorse a policy to better address a client’s changing needs
  • How to question decisions and provide further information
  • Why surveys matter, and what do we look for?
  • How the General Property cover helps Trades and Office covers
  • What products are available beyond the Business Pack, and how they can complement each other
