How does client intake work for insurance?
For personal lines, your intake specialist collects household members, drivers with license numbers and dates of birth, vehicles with VINs and usage, prior carrier and prior limits, claims in the last five years, home construction details, roof age, updates, protective devices and mortgagee information. The specialist orders loss runs, requests prior declarations pages, and chases the documents until the file is complete. Everything is entered into the ACORD forms and your management system in the same order every time, so your producer opens a submission ready to market rather than a half-answered form. Anything that asks for a coverage recommendation is routed to the licensed producer with the file attached. Intake volume and completeness are reported daily.
