Workers’ Comp Insights from Summit
For almost 50 years, Summit has helped independent insurance agencies grow their workers’ compensation business. Now, serving more than 7,000 independent agents and 31,000 policyholders across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic, we’re launching that same level of expertise and service to Pennsylvania and Delaware.
When it comes to agency growth, new business often steals the spotlight. But ask any seasoned insurance professional, and they’ll tell you: Retention is what keeps the lights on.
Premium audit might not be the first subject you raise with a workers’ comp client—but it can be one of the most powerful and memorable tools when managed by the right carrier.
Your clients don’t just want coverage; they want control. They want to understand how their workers’ compensation dollars are being spent and options that align with their long-term cost goals and risk tolerance.
Most workers’ comp insurance companies outsource at least some services. Outsourcing typically reduces the quality of the customer experience.
