Strong carrier relationships are crucial to the success of every Consultant.  It is the job of every insurance company’s Underwriter to retain as much premium possible for the company, while remaining competitive.  Likewise, it is the task of every Broker/Consultant to negotiate the lowest possible premium, for the benefits and population being insured, without slanting the risk or underrating the benefit plan.  To do this successfully, a Consultant must be knowledgeable in underwriting practices and procedures.   The principals at DPIS not only understand the rating process; but they have the experience and knowledge needed to handle this task effectively.  They are respected by the carriers with whom they do business, and enjoy good working relationships which allow for open and honest dialogue.  

 

 

Currently Designed Protection offers consulting services to 50+ group clients, cross-serving more 20,000 members and generating gross annual revenue of more than $750,000 through multiple lines of coverage.
