Executive Summary
Artificial intelligence can affordably help carriers write more and better business right now, asserts Dan Epstein, the CEO of ReSource Pro. Here, Epstein makes the business case for getting on board the AI train and tackles the obstacles of fear, uncertainty and doubt that lead carriers to resist changes that could enhance the success of their underwriters in writing accounts with the right submissions without disturbing the underwriter autonomy that pumps the lifeblood through the system.• “We bind around 12 percent of our submissions, but our underwriters review 100 percent of submissions.”
• “A 1-2 percent increase in our submission-to-bind ratio would be a game changer.”
