Title: Virtual Assistants for Managing International Insurance Clients
In the dynamic sphere of the independent insurance agent industry, maintaining a competitive edge against the large direct writers and captive agent companies is a tight balancing act. As an industry-leading authority on both the Insurance Agent Industry and the Global Workforce Staffing solutions, I can tell you that the key to unlocking a simpler, more efficient way of dealing with this challenge, lies in exploring the benefits of hiring virtual assistants.
Highly effective Virtual Assistants (VAs) can provide the much-needed administrative support, allowing Independent Insurance Agents to handle the insurance-specific operations with greater precision. This blog post will help you understand how VAs can help in managing international insurance clients.
#How can Virtual Assistants Aid Independent Insurance Agents?
Today’s technology has removed geographic boundaries, allowing businesses to hire talented professionals globally. According to the report by [Oxford Economics](https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/) global workforce trends are shifting towards more flexible employment models like VAs or ‘Employee of Record’ services. Virtual assistants take the load of administrative tasks off your plate, which means you have more time to focus on what’s most important – helping your clients.
VA’s can help agents manage International Insurance clients in several ways:
1. **Client Management**: Handling calls, setting appointments, and following up leads.
2. **Documentation**: Managing quotes, policy documentation, and claims processing.
3. **Marketing Support**: Delivering targeted marketing campaigns and social media management.
In case you aren’t sceptical yet, the [Office of National Statistics](https://www.ons.gov.uk/) predicted that remote working will become the norm post-pandemic. This supports that now is the prime time to consider hiring a virtual assistant for your agency.
