Agents rank Atlantic Mutual #1 in NY-NJ-CT Tri-State Area
New York, NY, (July 15, 2006) -- The Professional Insurance Agents Association (PIA) recently released the results of its 2006 Company Performance Surveys in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Based on the combined scores of the companies covered in all three states, Atlantic Mutual ranked #1 on an overall basis.
The surveys asked agents to rate companies on 16 characteristics that covered topics such as product coverage, technology, prompt and fair payment of claims, and overall service.
In addition to ranking #1 overall, Atlantic Mutual ranked #1 on five characteristics and in the top five on 15 of 16 characteristics. Among the quotes from agents were: “great product with package [policy],” “excellent customer service and underwriters,” and “great claims service.”
“These results help validate our strategy of focusing exclusively on serving the needs of affluent individuals through a select group of independent agents,” said Dan Olmsted, president of Atlantic Mutual. “By refusing to take a mass-market approach, we can offer superior product coverage and top-ranked service to both our policyholders and agents. It’s great to see these strengths reflected in the PIA survey results.”
The surveys encompassed over 80 companies in total, of which 13 were covered in all three states, including Chubb Personal, AIG Private Client Group, Travelers, and Progressive.
