Most insurance agencies let insurance policies renew without any changes and don’t talk to customers about any new options. Remarketing business is all about finding out if there’ve been any changes in carrier prices and providing better options to your customers as well as finding an opportunity to cross-sell and generate revenue for your agency. As an insurance agency, clients are always the priority and discussing all their options should be at the top of the list. This however, becomes difficult if you don’t have the resources to put in the work to remarket business.
One of our clients at Edge faced the same issue. Their policies were renewed with no changes or discussions with customers because they simply didn’t have the resources required to take on the busy-work it takes to do so. Because the Edge Ambassador was trained on how to remarket business, they were able to touch every policy to make sure they got renewed.
How did an Edge Ambassador help an insurance agency remarket business successfully? Here’s how:

Once the agency hired an Edge Ambassador they were quickly able to remarket their business efficiently. About 2 months before a policy expires, the Ambassador would run a list from the management system and carrier websites. Whether it’s a non-renewal, a premium change, or underwriter request, the Ambassador was on top of it. The Ambassador would then collect information on the best rates amongst carriers – ensuring that the agency was able to provide their customers with a range of options best suited to their needs. This helped them renew more policies efficiently.

Since the Ambassador was taking care of renewals and proposals ahead of time, the agency was able to focus on other important tasks. They were able to be much more productive and saved a lot of time because their Ambassador focused on back-end work.

Because the Ambassador was able to be proactive on the renewals of policies and proposal options, the agency was able to focus on their relationships with clients. They were able to put their customers first by providing them with the options best suited for their needs which helped retain business by providing premiums at optimal rates thanks to their Ambassador.

With an Edge Ambassador, the agency got the resources they needed to remarket their business successfully. Because their Ambassador was fully trained to get hands-on immediately, the agency was able to provide excellent service, premiums, and build long-lasting relationships with their clients successfully and seamlessly.

“Policy servicing” is the least glamorous phrase in the insurance business, and it eats more producer time than anything else on the calendar. It’s also the part of the business where a missed step isn’t just a workload problem: a renewal that lapses or an endorsement that never gets logged is a client exposure, and …

An agency owner researching virtual assistant insurance costs isn’t usually asking “is this a good idea.” That question got answered a while ago, probably somewhere in a backlog of unprocessed certificates. What’s left is the harder question: does the math actually work for this book of business, and how do you prove it to a …

Producers are supposed to sell. At most independent agencies, they spend a good chunk of the day doing something else entirely: chasing certificates, keying renewals, answering the same billing question for the third time that week. That’s the gap an insurance virtual assistant is meant to close, and it’s why the term shows up in …

The world’s best insurance teams aren’t remote—they’re responsible. Most agencies want to scale. Few know how to do it responsibly. The truth? Building global capacity doesn’t mean handing off control or gambling on offshore outsourcing. Too many agencies delay building global capacity because they think it’s an all-or-nothing commitment. It’s not. George Petersen Insurance …
