In this episode of The Marketing Rapport, host Tim Finnigan sits down with Pat Sullivan, Senior Editor and Conference Co-Chairman at Risk Information. They explore how shifting consumer expectations, economic pressure, and technology are reshaping both auto and home insurance. Pat shares data-driven insights on why more consumers are shopping for new policies, the rising importance of customer experience, and how independent agents continue to win trust in a market crowded with heavy ad spend.
Pat explains how increased competition and shrinking pools of “perfect” customers are pushing carriers to rethink segmentation and retention. He highlights the growing complexity of auto repairs, the impact of legal challenges on claims, and why customer advocacy now often means turning to lawyers for support. Their discussion also covers home insurance, where climate risk and underinsurance are forcing carriers to recalculate exposure and pricing in real time.
