When considering changing insurance brokers, you should ask yourself the following questions:
Why do I want to change brokers? What are the specific issues or concerns that have prompted me to consider making a switch?
What is my current broker doing well, and what are they not doing well? Are there any areas where they have fallen short in terms of communication, responsiveness, or meeting my needs as a client?
What are my goals for working with a new broker? What do I hope to achieve by switching to a new provider, and what specific qualities or services am I looking for?
What types of insurance coverage do I need, and how much do I expect to pay in premiums? Are there any specific policy features or benefits that I am looking for in a new broker?
What is my budget for insurance, and how does this compare to the quotes and estimates I have received from potential new brokers?
What is the reputation of the brokers I am considering? Are they well-respected in the industry, and have they received positive feedback from other clients?
What is the broker's experience and expertise in my specific industry or business sector? Do they have a track record of successfully meeting the needs of clients in similar situations?
What is the broker's communication style, and how do they keep their clients informed about changes or updates to their policies?
What is the broker's availability and responsiveness? Will I be able to get in touch with them quickly and easily if I have questions or need assistance?
What is the process for making a switch, and how long will it take to fully transition to a new broker? Will there be any gaps in coverage or other issues to consider during the transition period?
