Procedures Development
Create a written procedures manual for any one department.
- Live development Process – We type it up as it is discussed and agreed to by
agency staff members.
- Process normally involves significant amounts of training/review of Agency
Management System functionality as specific topics are discussed / debated
during the development process.
- Agency management system Activity & Attachment Based
- Includes the core procedures like:
- New Business
- Renewal Processing (usually 2 or more for things like marketing of account
vs. automatic renewals vs. specialty programs, etc.)
- Endorsements
- Audits
- Cancellations (usually multiples including Insured’s Request, Non-payment,
Carrier non renewal, etc.)
- Claims
- Agency Specific recurring items (Loss Control Notice handling, Walk in Cash
Receipts, Mail Handling for Front End Scanning)
- Includes Appendices like:
- Screen & Field requirements (Client Detail, Policy, etc.)
- Agency Specific Naming Rules (Customer Coding, History Naming, etc.)
- Modification of your agency management system is done ‘live’ during the 5
day process as those items are discussed:
- Form-letters
- Activities
- Attachment Categories, Sub-Categories, & Default description
- Specialized Transaction Types
- Includes clickable links to “how to” instruction pages if the agency has
such workflow documents already purchased or created.
- Final manual can easily be saved to Agency Intranet.
- The resulting procedures manual is a management tool; a rulebook that lets
the staff know the ‘what’ and ‘when’ of your expectations for them.
