More About Continuing Education for Insurers
Building Relationships with Insurance Agents
When an agent sells a policy, they are selling a promise. Most people never read or really understand how their policy works until they need to use it. The agent makes the promise and it’s up to you, the collision repairer, to navigate within the confines of the policy to ensure that the policyholder has a great experience. This is why it is so important that agents have shops that they can trust to deliver on that promise.
The ability to provide your local agents with CE Credits is a great way to begin to position yourself as trusted partner. PPG’s Instructor Development Training (IDT) will prepare you to teach Continuing Education classes as well as highlight strategies that will help you leverage CE as a powerful tool to open doors. Whether you currently market your shop’s services to agents or you are just getting started, providing agents with CE Courses highlighting collision repair is a great way to strengthen and build relationships. If agent completes their credits online in or in the classroom PPG’s Continuing Education program can satisfy the needs of your local agents.
