Insurance Companies Do Business With Vendors They Know and Trust
Homeowners seldom find themselves dealing with home damage and insurance claims. They have no idea what to do. When things seem their darkest, the insurance agent comes to the rescue. While the insured is still trying to understand what is happening, the agent is hard at work:
- Helping to file the claim
- Evaluating the damage
- Preparing the estimate
- Reviewing the estimate with the insured
Preferred Vendors Make Life Easier for the Insurer
Unlike the insured, preferred vendors know exactly what is happening. At some time in the past, they executed an agreement with the insurance company. This agreement states what the insurance company expects of the vendor. It also says what the vendor should expect in return. It signifies the vendor’s acceptance into the preferred vendor program.
The insurance agent always recommends preferred vendors. Preferred status gives them a distinct advantage over other vendors. This advantage motivates the vendor to live up to the agreement. It also makes sure that they keep their clients happy. This status is difficult to attain and easy to lose.
Preferred Vendors Make Life Easier for the Insured
A list of preferred vendors from the agent makes contractor selection simple. Along with the list comes an explanation of why these vendors are better than others. The incentives for using them are considerable. The hidden benefit of choosing one relates to customer satisfaction. The vendor desperately wishes to retain the preferred status. That’s not possible with a record of unhappy customers.
