Selling and Underwriting Stock Throughput Policies
Equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in exchange for payment.
Stock Throughput Policies (STP) are a crucial part of the insurance industry, providing coverage for goods from the point of production to the final destination. This unit will delve into the process of selling and underwriting STP, providing you with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in this area of insurance.
Identifying Potential Clients for STP
The first step in selling STP is identifying potential clients. These are typically businesses involved in the production, storage, and transportation of goods. This could range from manufacturers and wholesalers to retailers and logistics companies. Understanding the needs and risks of these businesses is crucial in identifying potential clients.
Understanding the Underwriting Process for STP
Underwriting is the process by which an insurance company evaluates the risk of insuring a potential client. For STP, this involves assessing the client's supply chain, including production processes, storage facilities, and transportation methods.
The underwriter will also consider factors such as the type of goods being produced, the locations of suppliers and customers, and the client's loss history. This information is used to determine the premium that the client will pay for the policy.
Key Selling Points and Benefits of STP
When selling STP, it's important to highlight the key benefits of the policy. These include:
- Comprehensive Coverage: STP provides coverage for goods throughout the entire supply chain, from production to final destination. This eliminates the need for multiple policies and ensures that there are no gaps in coverage.
- Simplified Claims Process: In the event of a loss, the client only needs to deal with one insurer, simplifying the claims process.
- Flexibility: STP can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the client, providing coverage for a wide range of risks.
Case Studies: Successful Selling Strategies for STP
To illustrate the selling process, we will examine several case studies of successful STP sales. These will highlight the strategies used by successful agents, including identifying potential clients, understanding their needs and risks, and effectively communicating the benefits of STP.
Handling Claims and Disputes in STP
Finally, we will discuss how to handle claims and disputes in STP. This includes understanding the claims process, working with the client and the insurer to resolve disputes, and ensuring that the client receives the compensation they are entitled to under the policy.
By the end of this unit, you will have a comprehensive understanding of selling and underwriting STP, equipping you with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in this area of insurance.
