Title: How Virtual Assistants Improve Client Retention
Running a successful independent insurance agency requires operating as efficiently as possible. How do you achieve this while also maintaining an exceptional level of customer satisfaction and retention? The answer is through the innovative use of virtual assistants and remote worker management software like AVA, developed by our very own Agency VA.
The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) have consistently highlighted the importance of client retention. According to their research, improving client retention by even 5% could potentially increase profits by 25% to 95% ([source](https://www.iiaba.net/vu/SiteAssets/Pages/Home.aspx)).
In the dynamic world of insurance, keeping clients loyal to your agency proves to be essential. And guess what? Virtual assistants can make this client loyalty achievable! So, strap in as we take a deep dive into how virtual assistants improve client retention.
1. Customer Service at its Finest
Virtual assistants, proficiently trained in customer service, wield the power to make or break the client experience. A positive, professional, and prompt response to clients’ inquiries or concerns can significantly enhance the customer service experience, leading to heightened client loyalty.
