The benchmarking is completely confidential. We compare basic rating characteristics contained within your portfolio to what similar companies in your industry are paying both nationally and internationally. The results will expose how differences in geographical location/entry point result in pricing disparities on the carrier level.

All brokers have different relationships with their insurance companies, and even the largest brokers tend to favor certain carriers. Our benchmarking process will optimize your search by providing an objective, national comparison of your quantitative rate ranges to that of other clients in your industry category.

No, many of our clients keep their original renewal dates if they determine that it is advantageous to do so. Some clients do choose to consolidate scattered renewal dates into a single master date.

Yes, your broker always has the opportunity to respond to PolicySmart’s final report. By collaborating with incumbent brokers, we are able to effectuate lower premiums, and improve both coverage and servicing.

There are usually three components to a satisfactory insurance program: price, coverage and service. If you decide to change brokers or carriers as a result of PolicySmart’s review, be assured that we will invest significant time in reviewing the details of what the new broker and/or carrier will be doing for you from a servicing standpoint. PolicySmart will commit to this in a written plan, complete with timelines. Additionally, we will work closely with you on a quarterly basis to ensure the success of your transition or renegotiation.

Many clients use various methods to benchmark their existing insurance costs. One way is to go through the time-consuming process of interviewing and evaluating brokers. However, this is usually a localized effort that subsequently yields only local underwriting comparisons. PolicySmart extends that benchmarking effort regionally, nationally, and internationally by matching your company’s specific requirements to specialty brokers and direct writers. We take the interviewing process off of your desk and put it onto ours. The insurance and retirement industries are very fragmented in the way they deliver product; our methodology makes the delivery process more efficient and beneficial for the client. PolicySmart matches a client’s NAICS code to a broker’s area of specialty (their industry categories) on an expanded geographic basis. For example, a publishing client in Manchester might be paying $1.78 per $1,000 of revenue for their Commercial Liability premium, whereas PolicySmart could source another non-local broker with publishing clients who are paying $1.25 per $1,000 with different insurance company options. PolicySmart has researched 13,000 Property/Casualty, Group/Benefits and retirement specialists, and direct writers in 120 countries. We have organized this data by criteria such as: NAICS codes, premium volume, profitability of premiums, deductibles, assets under management, limits, number of employees, group size ranges, self-funding expertise, TPAs, etc. To our knowledge, no one else has developed such an extensive research resource.
