2nd Annual Insurance-Canada.ca Broker Forum
ICBF2017: “Disruption ⇒ New Realities, New Opportunities”
Wednesday, March 1, 2017 — Allstream (Beanfield) Centre, Toronto
Insurance is the same; insurance is changing. Indemnification after a loss – that much remains. But in every other way, insurance is changing, responding to consumers' preferences and their evolving needs within a world which itself is undergoing change like never before.
- Consumers research insurance online before ever reaching out to a person. Are you positioned to be their last stop?
- Insurance products involve more participants. A UBI auto product utilizes many parties – data-gathering, analysis, reporting, and communicating to the customer. The value opportunity is ongoing, frequent. Does your client recognize you as a contributor?
- Prospects and clients expect value, and a good experience. Are your people geared to provide that experience? Does your technology complement and support your staff optimally? Do your staff, technology and strategy align and anticipate the next step in your digital journey?
- Following a FNOL, the insurer and many claims services providers may touch your customer. Are you lost in the shuffle, or valued as a resource?
When partners can also be competitors, strong proactive tactics increasingly prove key to growth. The 2017 Insurance-Canada.ca Broker Forum will help you better assess your options for success.
