Vulnerable Customers
The FCA have found following a thematic review that vulnerable customers are often not treated fairly. In fact, many Insurers pricing models have taken significant advantage of these customers, often the more vulnerable the customer the more the insurer has loaded rates at renewal. Some of the UK's largest institutions have been guilty of proactively targeting these individuals and the regulator has had enough of Insurers and brokers balancing their books on the most vulnerable in our society.

Alan Chandler,
How to set correct business interruption sums insured in a high inflation world
Presented by Alan Chandler, one of the UK's most popular insurance presenters. Alan will take this opportunity to run through how business interruption insurance should be correctly set up. Alan will lift the myths away from Bi and show how, in his easy to understand style, you can get this cover on a correct footing going forward.
Wrong advice relating to business interruption accounts for the second highest cause of professional indemnity claims against brokers. Many Bi policies are set up incorrectly throughout the UK and a lot of this results from lack of good clear client advice. It does not help that the term Gross profit in the insurance world means something different from Gross Profit in the accounting world.

A plain English overview of understanding an insurance policy wording
This one-hour webinar, presented by Alan Chandler one of the most popular presenters in the UK, looks to provide a plain English walk through what makes up an insurance policy wording.
One of the learnings of the Bi and Covid-19 court battles is the fact that you ignore the construction of policy wordings at your peril.
All brokers, underwriters and claims staff should have a good grasp of the component parts of an insurance policy wording and this presentation will provide this understanding.

Alan Chandler,
Trust - building trustworthiness and trusted advisor status
In the insurance industry, in particular, we often focus on developing our technical skills, and our product and service knowledge in the belief that this alone will be all we need to win new clients, and then provide great service to existing clients. But of course if the prospect does not ‘trust’ us sufficiently we are unlikely to be appointed in the first place, and if our clients don’t trust us, it will be more difficult for us to bring value, and our position will be constantly under threat. This session focuses on the importance of Trust in prospect and client relationships, and how to build it.
