With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you might be thinking of ways to create a romantic and memorable experience for your significant other or maybe the whole family.
Some Valentine’s traditions include homemade, heart-shaped ravioli or heart-shaped pizza. These heart-shaped options of popular food may cost more than the regular versions, but it’s worth it to splurge and create a family tradition to see the smiles on your kids’ faces.
If you’re not celebrating at home, maybe you plan to go all out with fine dining, a white-glove restaurant experience with meals prepared by expert chefs and a wine list to tempt any palette. Whatever you choose, Valentine’s Day provides an opportunity to create an elevated experience for your loved ones.
What does this have to do with insurance?
At The DBL Center, we have spent the past five decades elevating the broker experience for our clients. Best of all, unlike specialty pasta or the best restaurant in town, it doesn’t cost more to let The DBL Center deliver our white-glove, white-label service year-round.
Here are five ways The DBL Center shows our love to our brokers.
No Business Requirements or Minimum Sales Quotas
Insurance brokers know that to get the lowest premium rates and concierge service from carriers, they often need to meet sales quotas and write a minimum amount of business.
Brokers know the end-of-month or end-of-quarter crunch to meet goals. It’s a lot of pressure and it can lead to burnout or a deep focus on the bottom line, sometimes at the expense of providing the best service to your customers.
We want our brokers to be able to hustle without stress, which leads to better service for your clients and better sales results. That means no minimum business requirements or sales quotas. When you can focus on your job and know you can always deliver the lowest premium rates and best service to your clients, it changes the game.
Increasing Income Opportunities
As Paid Family and Medical Leave programs go into effect in more states, The DBL Center stays on top of this ever-changing landscape. We broke the news in New York when our home state introduced the most robust paid family leave program back in 2017.
As more states introduce for required paid leave, we have the carrier relationships and the in-depth industry knowledge to help you privatize these benefits for clients. They can take the cost savings realized with a private plan and use that money to enhance other employee benefits.
The Latest Technology to Help You Manage Your Business
Our Broker Dashboard: Net Revenue Tracker lets you view commissions, cancellations, and renewals at a glance. Now available as an app for Android or iOS, this state-of-the-art technology helps you manage your business wherever you may be.
We also send summary reports via email, allowing our brokers to take a proactive role in managing pending cancellations and renewals. Our brokers love us for it!
A Growing Team to Serve as Your Back-Office Staff
As the employee benefits space grows more complicated and company budgets shrink, it’s important to give your clients the time and attention they deserve.
The DBL Center acts as your back-office staff to shop and write policies. We can spot risk gaps that represent opportunities to up-sell benefits packages. Overall, we help ensure you have the time you need to build relationships with your clients, without getting bogged down in paperwork.
With this in mind, we’ve recently expanded our team to include sales analyst Chris Zimmerman. In his role, Zimmerman will support our sales force through every stage of the cycle, from RFP intake to implementation.
An Enhanced Business Experience for Our Brokers
The DBL Center started in 1976 as a family-owned and operated business. We have never strayed far from those roots. When brokers choose to write their policies with us as their wholesale general agency, they become part of The DBL Center family.
And, just as you seek to treat your family to something out of the ordinary this Valentine’s Day, our goal is to deliver an elevated experience to impress you every day.
