Why
Experience & Specialization Are So Important in Choosing a Consultant
Product Knowledge
There is a lot more to this than people realize. It is one thing to
place your operation in the right product, and another to make sure you
have been offered all options and endorsements that apply to your crops
and geographic area. We have spent a lot of time through the years
researching all available options for you, and will continue to do so
every year as changes occur in the industry as well as your grain
operation.
Communication
This is a two-way street. We believe that we have to ask you the proper
questions at the proper time so you do not have to second guess whether
or not you are properly covered. To do this properly, it requires the
depth of experience and knowledge that Independent Insurance Services
offers. We will meet with you each year to communicate any changes in
the crop insurance industry that may impact you, and ask you about any
changes you have made to your grain business. We believe in sending you
appropriate and important information in a timely manner throughout the
season. Our web site is also a great source of information, as we update
it as soon as any pertinent information becomes available.
Attention to Detail
Our staff is experienced and well-trained to find any problem areas from
the past and help get them corrected. We also follow a thorough system
of checks and balances to ensure that your policy details do not get
overlooked. This is one of the most important areas of concern today as
the crop insurance rules and regulations have gained enormous
complexity.
Service
We have high expectations of ourselves in this area. We believe that it
should be a pleasant experience to do business with us. We want to earn
your trust and allow you to focus the bulk of your time and effort on
producing a crop. Our specialty is to provide superior service in crop
insurance consulting, reporting and claims. We encourage phone calls and
e-mail, even if you are not sure about anything regarding your coverage
or a claim. There is no such thing as a stupid question!
Tools
We have several informational and educational tools tailored for you.
These are available via mail and in the “Insured Only” area of this web
site, www.cropinsurance.com. We also make available to you the
option of having complimentary farm maps. These have been quite popular
with our customers, as they simplify various aspects of crop insurance
reporting and allow us to communicate in a more effective manner.
