What You Can Do to Avoid the Hefty Pricing Increases in Commercial Auto Insurance Policies
|
|
The last few years have seen significant changes in the commercial auto insurance market. Consequently, insurance carriers have responded by tightening their belts and increasing premiums to address years of losses.
What’s behind these dramatic price increases? Technology. Autos now feature major pieces of technology, such as sensors and autonomous features, that are very expensive to repair and to replace. At the same time, the number and frequency of road collisions have gone up. These two factors have combined to result in a higher overall cost of repair—a cost that the insurance companies are now passing on to you.
Luckily, there are steps you can take to change the way you manage your fleet that can help keep your commercial auto policies affordable. The carriers are looking for best-in-class accounts with effective risk management, including loss prevention technology, in place. They want accounts that will buck the upward loss trends that have caused such strife for the insurance industry.
If your commercial auto premiums have increased even though your claims may have been insignificant, to ensure you get the most aggressive pricing from the carriers you must implement best practices. If you’re not sure what you need to do, contact Anthony Alatorre at 323-400-6705 or anthony@piascins.com for assistance.
One of the many benefits of PIASC membership is access to the insurance experts at PIASC Insurance Services. Anthony can conduct a thorough review with you and make recommendations as to how to reformulate your internal automobile management programs. Everything from risk prevention, safety procedures and fleet management protocols to driver selection and behavior and safety practices that result in fewer accidents will be examined and discussed.
Once this new approach is in place and fully documented, it will be time to approach the major carriers we represent to discuss rolling back your commercial auto insurance rates.

Conversion Rate Optimization in a Post-COVID World
|
|
Why Conversion Rate Optimization Is so Important
You know how important search engine optimization is to driving traffic to your website, and content marketing and social media are to engaging with your audience and driving traffic to your website. But once you have the traffic, conversion rate optimization, or CRO, kicks in to ensure as many of those visitors take action as possible.
CRO is a process of learning what your audience needs to see to take action on your website. It’s about challenging the status quo—trying new things and pushing the envelope.
A lot of times, what you’ll learn from A/B testing goes in the face of conventional wisdom or user-experience best practices. You may be surprised what elements on your sales and landing pages are hurting your conversion rates, and only through testing will you be able to identify what they are.
Unlearn What You Think You Know
Most companies look at increasing their profits by increasing their prices or rates. But sometimes, lowering the price can also affect profits, particularly if the costs to acquire those customers go down because your conversion rate went up.
