Clearcover Continues to Invest in the Agency Distribution Channel

Clearcover, the next-generation car insurance company, today announced that it recently launched the Clearcover Agent Hub, its reimagined agent resource center in its ongoing effort to bolster the agent distribution channel.

Designed to empower agents to better serve their customers and sell Clearcover policies with ease, the Agent Hub offers an innovative experience that supports agents through onboarding, answers frequently asked questions and offers ongoing support and education.

"Providing agents with educational resources and simple sales tools is a top priority," said Clearcover CEO Kyle Nakatsuji. "We're continuing to analyze data and listen to customer and agent feedback in our efforts to deliver the best experience in the industry."

One of the more notable enhancements in the Clearcover Agent Hub is a reimagined onboarding process for agents to sell with ease and confidence. The dedicated resource serves as a way for agents to learn more about Clearcover at their own pace, including general company information, products and services, and how to start selling policies.

"Clearcover already gave us a competitive product that agents can leverage to sell more business more efficiently, and now they've made the process even easier with the new Agent Hub," said Brightway Agency Owner and Clearcover Agent Gary Silverman. "It's truly a one-stop shop to help us grow our business."

In addition to onboarding, the Agent Hub also provides an array of updated digital resources, such as new videos, relevant articles and enhanced training content.

As Clearcover builds momentum and innovation in the channel, it is also working on rolling out an agent-centric rewards initiative.

The launch of Clearcover Agent Hub comes shortly after the company announced it has teamed up with Experian to provide an embedded insurance solution as part of its ongoing effort to expand its distribution channels.

Why evolving consumer behaviors require changes from insurance providers

It’s no secret that the global pandemic has upended everyone’s life. We know this anecdotally from our own experiences—more online shopping with curbside pickup orders, ordering takeout and delivery versus in-person dining, and changing media consumption. And let’s not forget remote working and learning. These experiences are more than simply anecdotal; McKinsey has written about the more specific effects of the pandemic on consumer behavior and needs. In short, they write: “behavior changes will reshape consumer decision journeys and companies will need to adapt fast.”

Celina Insurance Group Chooses Betterview for Accurate Roof Condition Data

GlobeNewswire | August 10, 2023

Celina Insurance Group, a community-focused provider of P&C insurance for over 100 years, recently announced their selection of insurtech company Betterview. Celina will utilize Betterview’s Property Intelligence and Risk Management solution to drive more accurate assessments of property conditions during policy renewal. Celina sought out an insurtech partner to obtain reliable and consistent data on roof condition, an especially relevant factor for Midwestern insurers dealing with inclement weather. Previously, Celina’s underwriters relied on time-consuming physical inspections to assess roof condition and often had to make adjustments later in the policy lifecycle. Betterview provided Celina with more accurate property data upfront and an extensive selection of roof-related property insights for improved risk selection and efficient underwriting. “Betterview gave us even more than we asked for,” says Trish Harlamert, vice president of underwriting at Celina. “There are so many great datasets and tools on their platform, including a full, transparent assessment of overall roof condition and the ability to flag changes in property condition over time. This is extremely useful for renewals because we can see if a policyholder has added a swimming pool, trampoline, or even an additional structure since the last time we had eyes on the property.” Betterview is confident their platform will drive more efficient renewal workflows for Celina. “Our platform empowers insurers like Celina with an instant, AI-powered view of current and historical roof condition. Our mature machine models can detect over two dozen relevant risk drivers, including staining, ponding, and missing shingles,” says Dave Tobias, chief operating officer and co-founder at Betterview. “Equipped with the best property data, they can make more informed decisions and collect adequate premiums without relying on costly, time-consuming physical inspections.” About Betterview Betterview is the Property Intelligence & Risk Management Solution the insurance industry depends on to identify and mitigate property risk, improve underwriting and inspection efficiency, and build a more transparent customer experience. Applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer vision to aerial imagery and geospatial data, Betterview generates the most accurate property information insurers trust to automate pricing, underwriting, and renewals while focusing strategic action on critical properties. Combined with flagging, continuous monitoring, and pre-filed peril risk scores, Betterview is helping transform property insurance from Repair and Replace to Predict and Prevent.
