How do insurance agencies retain clients when premiums keep rising?
Premiums are rising across nearly every line of business, and clients don't understand why. When their renewal comes with a 20% rate hike and zero explanation from their agent, they shop. 82% of policyholders say they'd drop their broker after a single bad experience. Proactive communication is the difference between retention and defection.
