SIG corporate strategy - streamlined daily insurance functions

Historically, agencies have become "bottlenecked" in the daily operations for many reasons.  Some of them are; "being all things to all people", computerized overkill, computerization underkill, micro-management, etc.  SIG Insurance Services' goal is to structure our entire operation around each sales office being just that - sales.  Several methods to accomplish this are:

l Centralized computer and general management

l Disciplined utilization of markets for personal lines and small commercial accounts that offer "upload/download", service centers, point of sale underwriting/rating

l Separation of internal functions so that each person wither has primary sales responsibility or primary support responsibility

l Sales locations to operate in a near paperless environment

l Each sales location will be its own profit center with the producer(s) having the opportunity to be rewarded fir an overall efficient operations and sales production.  Producers will also have the opportunity to have partial equity ownership in their book of business.
