How does Insure Response work?We're here to make your life easy--starting with our registration process! Your registration documents include a profile sheet that you will fill out with information about your agency that will help us to begin building a scope of support. Additional discussions with the agency principal will help us establish which services will be included on the scope and how those services will be handled. Once the scope is complete, a phone number will be assigned to the agency and you we will help you program your phones to roll over to that number whenver you need us--after-hours, when you're busy, etc. Calls that would normally go to voicemail or unanswered will be routed to Insure Response and be branded with your agency name by the Insure Response CSR. Our CSR will then proceed to handle the call exactly as you indicated on you scope of support. We are here for you, 24/7!
