Submissions

Property & Casualty – Garage The following are five simple producer guidelines that, when practiced in accessing our P&C Division and our Garage Division.

• Call your underwriter first to qualify the risk (class; time frames, etc.) and also learn if there is a special application required.
• If you do not type the application, write legibly.
• Provide a cover letter that describes the prospect’s operation, coverage requirements and your production strategy.
• After submitting, follow up with your underwriter. Avoid the fax and forget mentality. Communicate before the last minute.
• Learn your underwriters’ expertise and companies in order to market effectively and avoid prior submission confusion. Do not ‘Shotgun.’

Build new underwriter relationships with trust, professionalism and by placing business regularly with your underwriter.
