NEW YORK–May 22, 2003–AIG Small Business Underwriting Center (AIG Small Business), a unit of the property and casualty subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), has introduced Product Recommender(SM), a new web-enabled risk profiling tool that helps small business insurance agents and brokers identify industry-specific client risks.
Product Recommender also pinpoints cross-selling and up-selling opportunities by offering access to product marketing and educational materials that support the sales cycle.
Upon entering a client’s profile into the Product Recommender system, authorized users automatically receive a customized report of insurance products and coverages that are tailored to their clients’ needs.
“AIG Small Business is dedicated to serving the needs of agents and brokers in supporting their clients,” said Vince Tizzio, President, AIG Small Business Underwriting Center. “Product Recommender’s risk profiling capabilities will help agents and brokers provide innovative small business insurance products and promote customer-focused service. While most online producer tools are limited to just click and bind capabilities for standard property casualty coverage, Product Recommender helps manage small business risks beyond the realm of traditional business operation protection or package policies.”
AIG Small Business also offers web-enabled click and bind systems for many of its products. AIG eWriter(SM) and AIG eExcess(R) allow agents and brokers to rate, quote and bind qualified management liability and excess casualty accounts in real time from any Internet-connected computer.
