The Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. is speeding up the process of placing midsize commercial accounts.
Independent insurance agents now can submit new business applications directly to The Hartford for general liability, property, commercial auto and/or workers’ compensation coverage with nothing more than a few clicks of the mouse.
It’s called “eSubmission,” and it’s currently available for agencies that use an AMS Sagitta 5.9 system. Later this year it will be available to agencies employing other agency management systems as well.
“The Hartford has won an important race toward more efficient insurance placement with its launch of eSubmission for middle market accounts, but the real victors are the agents who can now work more quickly and easily,” said Gary Thompson, senior vice president of Middle Market and Specialty Practices for The Hartford.
“Middle market businesses are a major focus at The Hartford, so we’re helping agents grow in that segment. We’ve streamlined most submission tasks so CSRs, producers and underwriters can spend their time on the more complex work of evaluating and meeting their customers’ needs,” Thompson added.
For further information, Hartford agents should contact their local office.
