Currently the Marketing team is manned by the Head and a marketing staff. A 30% increase in budget was imposed by the Management. According to Marketing Head – Amelia Monton, they were not able to hit the quota for the month of February due to some justifiable reasons like: •they were not able to materialize the accounts in their pipelines •some clients are still undecided to renew their accounts due to previous claim issues •branches and other bank units were not motivated to refer leads •Existing and new clients were having apprehensions in insuring their properties since he news of Financial crisis of another Insurance Company 1. )GENERATING MORE PRODUCTION Additional manpower (1 Account Officer & 1 Marketing staff) will be hired and expected to report by 1st week of April of this year.

COST When it comes to insurance costs, we can help them through economies of scale, because simply we’re the largest Filipino-owned insurance broker in the country today. We leverage our size (including those of our parent companies BDO and the SM Group) to negotiate for each and every cover our clients need – and these enables us to provide them the best terms and most competitive rates. Brokers like us have existing portfolio of business that we could use as leverage when we place your business with insurers.

Since we use the same insurers for the rest of our business, insurance companies also ‘service’ us as valuable source of their revenue. This means that they can be pressured to improve the terms and conditions including premium levels, to our clients’ benefit. Almost always, we are able to outperform the rates of a direct insurer because we can approach several insurers. Imagine the Client’s sole insurer competing against 10,20 or 30 insurers that we could approach.
