By now it’s old news that the insurance industry lags behind many others in the area of technology. However, insurers are quickly getting up to speed by changing to new technologies and partnering with insurtech companies. Retention of customers could still be a challenge in the coming months and years, but I believe that growth and retention will rest heavily on service-based strategies that improve the customer experience.

Great leadership is indeed a difficult thing to pin down and understand. You know a great leader when you’re working for one, but even they can have a hard time explaining the specifics of what they do that makes their leadership so effective. Great leadership is dynamic; it melds a variety of unique skills into an integrated whole. Below are 12 essential elements of great leadership, which you can follow to help you become a better leader today.

During the height of the pandemic in April, Americans sheltering at home drove 64% fewer miles, an unprecedented decline in travel. Those new habits will die hard, with KPMG predicting as much as a 10% permanent reduction of the almost 3 trillion miles typically traveled every year and vehicle ownership declining to slightly less than two cars per household.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, home insurance claims apps had little to no traction. At Mobiquity, we saw insurance companies approach this concept in many different ways, but user adoption remained stubbornly low. On average, less than 5% of insured homeowners file a claim each year. And within that small percentage, we see less than 5% of policyholders use the app to file that claim.
