The Internet more than anything else has done more to change the way people now buy insurance and do their banking. They’re doing it online now and that means that standard banking hours are out the window because people are now conducting transactions and submitting applications 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Often times when a problem arises just having a voice on the other end of the line is what it takes to smooth things over. For a banking firm, handing the responsibility of fielding calls and e-mails over to an outsourcing firm should come with some level of trepidation. It’s a serious responsibility with little to no margin for error. Once again, this is where the initial screening that we put all our employees through and then the level of training that we invest in them after they’re hired works to set us apart from the crowd.

Claims Adjusters

Our business support Associates have extensive experience in dealing with clients associated with the insurance industry. They know the key terms and the basic steps of processes that are involved in resolving an insurance claim. Once again, having a real voice on the end of the line as the claims process unfolds can make a huge difference in a adjuster/claimant relationship. Claims adjusters also require a higher level of training and experience in an operator who fields their calls. They also require that an operator have a general knowledge of key industry terms and basic business operating functions. So the last thing you need is to hand the responsibility of fielding your phone calls over to an outsourcing firm who plans on training their employees on your calls. At Courteous Communications our business support associates have the training and the experience and the knowledge already.
