Encompass Sales Tips
Credit for existing insurance – Write the home or auto with current effective date and the remaining line with a future effective date (must be submitted at the same time).
– Underwriting is once and done: The package is underwritten at the time it is submitted and not again when the second policy is effective.
– Gaps are covered: If the client has a claim that exceeds their primary policy prior to the Encompass policy taking effect, Encompass will cover the difference. (If a covered peril)
– Locked in rates: If the rates change before the second policy is effective the insured will continue to get the rate that was quoted.
– Package discount is applied.
