Financial Impact
$50,000β$250,000+ per year in lost commission and lifetime value from mid-term cancellations tied to perceived poor service, plus additional E&O risk exposure and write-offs from premium/commission disputes and rushed corrections. β’ Lost recurring revenue from preventable mid-term cancellations and rewrites: if 70β80% of reviewed mid-term cancellations in a book of $5Mβ$10M in commission are tied to poor endorsement follow-up, this can conservatively bleed $150,000β$400,000+ per year in lost commission and remarketing cost, plus additional E&O risk and reputation damage that depresses renewal and referral growth.
Current Workarounds
Producers and account managers manually track in-flight endorsements with adβhoc notes and memory, plus scattered tools such as Outlook tasks, email folders, sticky notes, spreadsheets, and shared drives; they periodically re-check carrier portals or AMS queues by hand, then forward PDFs or screenshots to clients once they remember or when the client complains. β’ Producers, benefits consultants, and marketing coordinators track endorsement follow-ups manually using Outlook reminders, personal notebooks, email flags, and ad-hoc Excel or AMS notes; they chase carriers and clients via phone, email, and text without a unified workflow or SLA tracking, leading to missed callbacks and unconfirmed changes.
