Who is your primary contact at your top 3 insurers? How often are you in contact with them? My primary contacts at my top insurers tend to vary but have a common thread between the three. The top ones are the ones that have open communication between my agency, the territory sales managers and the underwriters. Communication varies by companies and even people. Some communicate better by phone while others are by email. I think that it is important to find what works best with the companies or the individual. My territory sales managers and sometimes underwriters will also come to meet my agency in person which I think works great in putting a face to the person who you are speaking with and strengthens the relationship you have with that company.
