At Philadelphia Insurance Companies, Top Executives are now Making Customer Service Calls

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 2, 2012 - Faced with an insurance marketplace in which product offerings are very similar and price is no longer a differentiator, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, was looking for a way to stand out from the competition.

The solution according to Seth Hall, the company's vice president of customer service, is its "Executive Sponsor Program," in which some 32 top-level executives — including the president, the chief underwriting officer, the chief service officer, and others — are assigned to build a direct relationship with three to five of the company's major customers.

The program requires ongoing monitoring, tracking and follow-up, but Hall says in the February issue of "Customer Service Newsletter," that it has been well worth the effort. In fact, the program was given a big boost when one executive's call precipitated a $400,000 sale early on.

Details on the Philadelphia Insurance Companies' program plus much more covering the best in Customer Service appear in the February issue of "Customer Service Newsletter."
