A renewal-season resource

Five questions to ask your commercial insurance agent

Most business owners don’t need to fire their agent. They need to know what to ask, so they can tell whether their agent is representing them or just processing their renewal. A free one-page handout.

Your handout opens on the next page. I use your details to follow up about your program. I do not sell your information.

What is on the page

Each question comes with what a good answer sounds like, and what it means if you don’t get one.

Your business

What changed in the last 12 months

Is your agent tracking the changes in your operations, finances and structure that affect your exposure?

Your coverage

Where you are over- and underinsured

An agent who only recommends more coverage is selling. One who can say where to scale back is advising.

Your claims

How the program responds to a real loss

Walk through the likely claim scenarios and listen for deductibles, sublimits, coinsurance and exclusions.
