Struggling to Write an Agency Procedures Manual?

We have a better option – a complete, customizable Agency Procedure Manual (APM).
You can tailor this manual to fit your agency with little time and effort.
It’s a customizable collection of electronic documents that insurance agencies can use to formally document business procedures and policies.
The APM contains more than 120 forms, worksheets, and checklists as well as links to related IA&B resources.
It includes procedures for:
This manual is ideal for:
The APM breaks down processes into easy-to-follow steps to ensure work is done consistently by all staff, and tasks do not fall through the cracks. By defining what to do and when to do it, the APM also helps new staff learn the job faster by using it as a guide, which leads to increased efficiency.

Frequent Q&As

Why is it essential for my agency to have an APM?
There’s a reason why E&O carriers often require agencies to have a policies and procedures manual. If your agency is sued for E&O, the plaintiff’s attorney will generally probe for weaknesses by verifying if all staff provide the same answers about what they do, how they do it and how they document it. Consistency in your agency’s staff responses will establish credibility. Of course, consistency also helps prevent errors in the first place.
Is this manual state specific?
No, the core of the APM is to establish procedures in the agency that are based on common processes for independent insurance agencies across the country. It is not state-specific. Agencies can adjust much of the procedures by tailoring them to their own timelines, whether these timelines are based on agency preferences, state or even carrier requirements.
Can I have a sneak-peek?
Absolutely!
How will I receive the APM?
The tool will arrive electronically. You will receive an email with a link to download the manual and forms.
The APM was developed in cooperation with The Moberg Group, Inc., the leading insurance consulting firm providing services to independent agencies, such as: Agency Operations, Procedures Development, Automation Selection and Utilization and E&O Risk Management Services.
