RSA investing to help strengthen broker partners by working with MarshBerry
April
23, 2010 – Leading home, car and business insurer RSA is pleased to
announce its latest investment in the broker channel.
In ongoing efforts
to support our broker partners, RSA has signed an exclusive
contract with MarshBerry, a well-known U.S. broker consulting firm which offers
expertise in management, peer-to-peer exchange network, informational services,
sales effectiveness and merger and acquisition advisory services. Through its
resources and extensive insurance industry knowledge, MarshBerry will act as a
support tool and improvement network for key broker partners.
“MarshBerry is an
exciting and valuable service for our broker partners,” said Shawn DeSantis,
Senior Vice President Broker Business. “Our goal with MarshBerry is to help our
brokers bring a new level of expertise to their business. Strong broker
investment and relationships remain at the heart of RSA’s strategy and our
partnership with MarshBerry again demonstrates our commitment to the broker
channel.”
This latest
investment joins other successful RSA initiatives that aim to help brokers
enhance their skills and grow their businesses such as, Broker Bootcamp – a
specialized training program for brokers new to the business and Making Partner
– a program designed with Queen’s University to provide leadership and business
skills to brokers on track to becoming senior leaders.
“We believe these
types of investments will continue to help us build a strong, progressive
broker force,” added
DeSantis.
