Risk Management
Recently, J.D. Powers and RIMS surveyed risk-management experts at large commercial businesses. According to the findings of J.D Powers and RIMS, the risk management experts surveyed cited three top key performance indicators (KPIs) that they seek out when choosing an insurance agent. The KPIs for how to choose an insurance agent included risk-reduction strategies, communication (positive interactions), and price.
Risk Reduction Strategies
