Calculate your customers' contents!

When you get to the question '...how much would you like to insure your contents for?', we know that some customers will have worked out their replacement costs down to their £34.99 kettle. Some however will look at you blankly or at best guesstimate the value. Calculating your customers contents is not easy so to help them ensure they have the right values in place and are not under-insured, we've created this handy contents calculator. You can use this during a quote or even e-mail it to your customers.

Weather damage claims come flooding in...

Last week’s high winds and heavy downpours wreaked havoc across the country. Usually at this time of year it is the frozen pipes and broken boilers that cause the greatest anxiety for a large number of the 24 million households in this country. Up until this week Select and Protect have been experiencing a relatively benign winter, with the amount of claims activity at a reasonable level. But this changed dramatically when 197 new claims were notified in just one day last week, putting the highest single December day of 67 claims into some context.

Commenting on the increase in claims levels Bruce Reid, Managing Director of Select & Protect says “It’s important that we have built the capacity and service within our business to be able support the customers of our brokers when they need it most, after all your home insurance is only as good as your ability to pay claims or get people out to fix roofs or move fallen trees.”

Reid continues “because of the strong relationship we have with our Insurer partners, we can resolve the vast majority of customer claims without fuss or need to seek permission, giving a high quality service at a time when customers find out how good their policy really is. Our team based in Southend have been trained to react proactively and sympathetically to claimants, clearly demonstrating the value of our service.”

MPPI - it pays and we can prove it!

To support the 20% reduction in MPPI rates for ASU and AS, we've published an MPPI Claims Statistics sales aid.

PPI is getting a lot of bad press lately so it's more important than ever to educate your customers and let them know that MPPI is NOT PPI! To help you gain your customers' confidence in the product when offering a quote alongside the usual mortgage and home insurance package, we thought it would be great if you could prove to them that MPPI really does pay out on valid claims.

The MPPI Claims sales aid shows a breakdown of all the claims we've received to date on the policy since launching in June 2009. We reveal that 85% of all claims made have been paid out. What's more, we've even shown you a breakdown of why the remaining 15% were declined! All reasons are clearly outside the terms of the policy, proving that, as long as the claim is valid, we really do pay out.

Don't forget that along with the Claims Satistics sales aid, there's plenty more useful MPPI related downloads on the MPPI product page. Be sure to check out the Library area too, where you'll find an MPPI Direct Mail letter template and customer facing leaflet which you can print and send to your customers to promote the product and encourage them to call for a quote.
