Why insurance businesses use a proposal tool instead of Microsoft Word
Many insurance still use Microsoft Word or some other word processor to create their quotations. A previously created template is modified manually and then sent as a PDF. Sounds easy, but in practice this takes a lot of time, the chance of errors is high and you no longer have insight into your quotation after sending.
With the use of a proposal tool it has become a lot easier and better for entrepreneurs. You still use templates as a basis, but now you have a full content library in which you can search and reuse texts. The chance of errors is minimal due to smart automation. And after sending you can still adjust your quotation and you will get insight when your customer views the proposal. The modern interactive presentation options make an impression and the option to digitally sign makes it very easy for a customer to agree.
The following blog will elaborate on how to make perfect quotations with the right tool: Read more why Microsoft Word is not the best way to create proposals

Why smart software is important for businesses in the insurance sector
Today’s insurance process is a complex one, and it’s hard to keep track of everything. There are dozens of channels and hundreds of prospects, so even the most seasoned professionals can easily lose track of their leads. A proposal system can give you the chance to better present yourself to a prospect and impress them to win the deal. You want to create a quote that is visually compelling and will make your audience think you’re the obvious choice. You want to build trust and communicate with your prospect by being detailed, personable, and providing the information they need. At the same time, you need to keep things simple and make sure your prospects understand exactly what you’re offering them.
An insurance policy is a contract between an insurer and a policyholder where the insurer agrees to provide compensation in the event of damage or loss to the property of the policyholder caused by certain perils, typically specified in the contract. The policyholder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum. If the insured event occurs, the insurer pays the claim to the policyholder. The insured may or may not be the policyholder; if it is not, then it is called a "third-party" insurance. If an insured event occurs, the insurer may not pay out on all claims. For example, insurance policies exclude cover for damage due to nuclear incidents, war, theft, deliberate acts by third parties or acts of God (such as fire caused by lightning). To mitigate this and other risks, most insurance policies are supplemented with additional coverage, such as loss of income and medical payments. The insured event usually does not need to be reported to the insurer for benefits to be paid; contracts usually provide that as soon as proof of loss is provided to the company by the insured, payment is made.
