What are a Broker’s Objectives ?
Brokers want the best possible deal for the client related to terms, conditions and price.
Underwriters expect a negotiated solution with profitable pricing and a partnership.
Pricing and terms are always negotiable.
Application & historical data review are critically important.
Broker’s Bidding Challenges
Obsolete documents
Boilerplates
Requirements (unreasonable?) Performance Bonds
Co-named on E&O
Cut and paste errors, redundancies and contradictions
Unnecessary/voluminous requirements
Poor data
Open claims
Commoditized purchase attitude
Buyer lacking necessary understanding
Time constraints
Insufficient opportunity for negotiations
Open market offerings

Where does commission come from?

Should be disclosed from all sources
Historically range from 5 - 25+%

Value Added
Internal preparation of proposals
Market relationships
Incumbent advantages
Many important questions are not asked in pre-bid meetings.
When Price Drives….
Insurance solution may be diluted
Services may be limited
Internal charges often affect services
Underwriters do not believe a relationship exists
For many reasons, underwriters want time with a insured
When Service Drives
Bottom line does not steer the proposal
But it is factored in
Underwriters feel differently
Broker feels partnership is stronger
Client expectations need to be clear
Performance measures should be created
Recommendations
Decide what you are buying?
Review the bid documents in advance of release.
Clarify drivers and priorities in the offering.
Take the time to create scope of services – even one year out.
Understand market conditions before bidding.
Create the best possible package of data.
Consider needs and desires of sellers.
Coach procurement well in advance of offering.
Demand disclosure.
Consider stronger relationships with all component players.
Making an RFP complex does not assure a better outcome.
Conceptual proposal vs. conceptual/creative section
