[31:59] What James loves about his job

As a coverholder, it’s a good idea to ask the insured for telematics and historical data. Telematics captures day to day operations, while past metrics and statistics can help establish trust. You can learn a lot about the insured by examining these two things - and significantly reduce risk.

While retail insurance agents each have their own niche areas of expertise, they have a responsibility to fully understand their product and do their best to educate the insured. The burden lies not only on the agent, but on everyone involved in the process who should be responsible for communicating what the important metrics are.

Insurance is seeing more innovation now than ever. As an industry, transportation insurance is no longer focused on just helping logistic companies with loss, but also on reducing risk by addressing specific problem areas.
