[BANTER PODCAST] Getting Your Insurance Agency Team Current | How to Abolish Insurance Agency Backlog

Posted on June 16, 2023 by Kelly Donahue Piro

Are you looking into getting your insurance agency team current?

Imagine this you come into your insurance agency and everyone is smiling and happy. On Friday at 5pm there are no overdue activities, the team’s email is clean and clear and everyone goes home happy! Do you believe that is possible? Well it is! At APP we have gotten many insurance agencies in a zero backlog workflow. Let’s start by identifying common insurance agency backlog challenges:

  • High Volume of Work: staff shortage, inefficient processes, too many payments
  • Technical Issues -Management System User Errors
  • External Factors

Once you get routed in the fact that your team needs to be ahead not behind you start seeing and feeling some of these side effects. Delayed processing of claims, increased workload, higher operational costs, customer dissatisfaction, compliance issues and depleted team morale.
