Empowering Agents with Expanded Markets and Products for Commercial Success
by: Lynn DePasquale
Smart Start Commercial continues to grow and expand our portfolio of markets and products to help our agents win more new business. With the challenges of Personal Lines pushing more agencies to diversify into Commercial, we have stepped up our game to help enable that transition! We’ve been your go-to source for everything from main street small commercial to more complex up-channel middle market business. We recently added programs for niche products such as Churches and Non-Profits, but we wanted to do more.
Your Partner in Writing Trucking Accounts with Ease
Smart Choice Commercial recently built and launched a Transportation team. Our team is fully certified and has been actively quoting and binding trucking accounts for the last 6 months. We started out with one market and have quickly expanded to several others. If you want to start writing trucking or have questions, we would love to help you write this business.
We created a quick questionnaire you can find on the business center website that will ask you all the questions needed to be able to get a quote. There are many independent truckers out there that need insurance, and although our niche is 1-5 power units, we can now write larger fleets too. Our carriers have an app for each trucker to be able to generate their own certificates and submit claims themselves, freeing you up to write other business. We also are rounding this out with an Occupational/Accident insurance offering and we can write the workers comp as well.
Coming Soon: Fairmatic - Innovative Fleet Insurance Solutions for Last Mile Delivery, Artisan Contractors, and More
We will soon add Fairmatic to our portfolio in Smart Start Commercial. This company specializes in fleets for Last Mile Delivery, Artisan Contractors, Non-emergency Medical Transport and Cannabis Delivery (where legal). Fairmatic uses technology to monitor driving activity and proactively underwrite and dynamically price risks, rewarding safe driving with lower monthly premiums. They will require MVR’s and vehicle and driver lists for a submission. There are also some state restrictions so check out their website for what Fairmatic can do in your state.
Smart Start Commercial is driven to provide a comprehensive transportation solution for all your trucking and fleet risks, while striving to deliver an extraordinary experience for our agents who trust us with all their Commercial opportunities. Stay tuned as we have additional new carriers and products coming soon!
