Coverage is Key

We all believe that transparency is of benefit to everyone until of course we don’t want to be so transparent, as some things may be inconveniently embarrassing. 
Insurance companies are no saints but the one thing they are up against more than anything is fraud, from the point of questions being answered when someone is seeking cover to when a claim comes through.
When you think of all that insurance covers, the incoming numbers are huge but so are the outgoing payments and the net difference although big is nowhere near making the insurance industry show a fabulously rich industry. 
Accepting insurance may be a sector heading there are so many different categories within, and for the huge help and support the Insurance companies can provide they also as I’ve pointed out before have an uncanny knack of shooting themselves in the foot.
As a country we seem to love to knock anything and anyone as a national pastime. But insurance for all its sins does serve a purpose, and will help if you think about what you need.
With many policies crossing over with some cover, it’s pretty stupid to secure the same cover with another standalone policy because you can’t have dual cover to claim twice for the same thing. So you need to decide what really suits best and dump what doesn’t. 
We are seeing new capital rich but cash poor clients all wondering what they should be doing about insurance, and it’s just quite bizarre they have had to look away from their present broker to get the information they need.          
At Trident I will say it over and over we want to make sure you know what you’re paying for and tell you how it is. 
Being predominantly telephone based the need to dress smartly just seems a waste of time. My view is so long as the guys here do a good job, does it matter what they wear, maybe you would like to comment on that if so please let me know. But I have seen little to justify that wearing a suit delivers better service or prices.
We are all customers and here at Trident we have all kinds calling in, but in times like we’re in now everyone whatever scale of the ladder they’re on needs to save money and that’s we’re we come in, with a far wider panel on Insurance companies than the AA. 
We want you to like what we do and let us know if you’re not happy, we want you to come back at the point of renewals and introduce your friends because you like the way we do things here.
We don’t as a company supply life insurance or pensions, you need a separate licence for that but we can put you on to various companies if you wanted.
We’re also going to have photo’s  the members of staff, who aren’t camera shy, shown on our website so you can put a face to the voice.
And whilst March is still some time away….. but not that much, given January seemed to fly by. We will be at the Business 2012 exhibition at the o2 main arena from Sunday 18th – Tuesday 20th
It’s the UK’s biggest business show for Start Ups,  SME’s, and Mid Market companies with guest speakers Lord Alan Sugar and Sir Richard Branson contributing their thoughts on events so you can come and meet us if you’re in town. It should be interesting and for business clients very helpful, and whilst not on the main stage I will be holding some seminars about insurance if you want to come and listen in.
