Why Client Retention Matters In Insurance
Client retention rates reveal far more about an insurance agency than marketing claims ever could. Industry research shows that winning a new insurance customer costs approximately 5 times as much as retaining an existing one. High retention demonstrates consistent value delivery and client satisfaction.
Harper's exceptional client retention stems from clients genuinely valuing our service. They aren't locked into contracts or trapped by switching costs. They choose to remain with Harper year after year because we consistently deliver superior results.
Traditional insurance brokers struggle to maintain relationships as clients get passed between different account managers and underwriters. Harper eliminates this frustration by serving as your dedicated agency throughout your entire relationship. You work with the same team from initial quote through policy renewals and any claims that arise.
Our retention rate also reflects the quality of our carrier partnerships. We don't place clients with substandard insurers offering cheap premiums that disappear at the first claim. Every carrier in our network maintains AAA ratings and a proven track record of paying claims fairly and promptly.
