Avoiding Broking Errors & Omissions
Key learning outcomes:
The Avoiding Broking Errors & Omissions module’s key learning outcomes are critical for any brokerage. Central to this module is the concept of communication – with clients, underwriters, and colleagues. Tips on how to communicate, verbally and in writing, as well as how to deal with client lack of responsiveness and customer dissatisfaction are discussed in some detail. Record keeping and an analysis of the policy renewal process follows, after which the importance of having a “Plan B” is examined. The module concludes by discussing the importance of correcting errors and omissions when they arise and briefly explaining the importance of cross-selling.
There will be a short break in the middle of the unit. There are interactive exercises and progress checks throughout the module. A 12-question test is completed at the end of the session or post-session via a link.
Once this module is completed, the learner will have a better understanding of how to minimise errors and omissions with the assistance of valuable tools which revolve around clear, frequent, and documented communication with key parties. This module is critical for all brokers and acts as a pre-requisite to proceeding to our other risk-minimising-related modules of The Policy Renewal Process | Level 1, The Policy Renewal Process | Level 2 and Cross-Selling. These additional modules delve more deeply into these two very important elements of reducing errors and omissions, and in the case of Cross-Selling, it is also an important sales and revenue generation function.
