ePayPolicy has opened entries for the 2019 InsurTech Agency Award, a competition recognizing independent insurance agencies and brokerages for their innovative use of technology in client engagement, operations, vision, and investment, with winners receiving cash, consulting, and service prizes to promote tech adoption and business growth in the insurance industry.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The 2019 InsurTech Agency Award Now Open for Entries
industry-wide competition recognizes insurance agency achievement in technology adoption
Austin, TX – June 13, 2019 – ePayPolicy is now accepting applications for The 2019 InsurTech Agency Award competition. The award, now in its second year, recognizes independent insurance agencies and brokerages for leveraging technology to enhance their sales, marketing, operations, and customer service functions.
All aspects of the award are designed to foster agency business improvement and spur widespread tech adoption throughout the insurance industry.
“The goal of any agency is to create a seamless experience in which your clients enjoy every interaction,“ said Todd Sorrel, ePayPolicy co-founder. “We created the InsurTech Award to celebrate those firms — big and small — who are out there leading the charge to tech-enabled customer engagement and business growth.”
The InsurTech Agency Award acknowledges both achievement and effort in technology adoption. Applicants are scored on their use of technology in four categories:
- 1.Client & Prospect Engagement
- 2.Day-to-Day Operations
- 3.Technology Vision
- 4.Technology Investment
The scores in each area are combined into the applicant’s Insurance Technology Adoption (ITA) score. ITA is a subjective measure of an agency’s competitive standing in the insurtech space. All applicants will receive their ITA score, along with evaluator feedback and suggestions on opportunities to improve.
The grand prize winner is the agency with the highest ITA score. In 2019 the grand prize winner will receive:
- $1,000 cash
- $1,000 towards insurtech services
- 1 Year of consulting services
- 1 free year of ePayPolicy payment processing services
“With so many simple yet powerful insurtech options out there today — from AI chat bots to social media management to internal communications platforms and digital payment processing — we’re excited to see what agencies are using,” said Sorrel. “We’re expecting some creative new applications from our 2018 participants and demonstrated momentum overall since last year’s award.”
ePayPolicy encourages everyone to apply. “At minimum, you’ll receive valuable feedback via your ITA score. And — you just could be our 2019 grand prize winner,” concluded Sorrel.
