The psychology behind insurance - RISK Risk remains constant in a reasonable persons life

The psychology behind insurance - RISK Risk remains constant in a reasonable persons life and they in turn manage that risk. Reasonable people do not insure because they think something will happen, they insure against the “risk” of something happening. 95% OF THE PEOPLE WHO INSURE THEIR CAR NEVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT. YET THE FIRST THING THEY WILL DO WHEN THEY REPLACE THEIR CAR IS TO INSURE AGAIN. “Where there is a risk there is a need for protection!”

Grace Standard Cover Explained • “This is where you itemise everything that is going

Grace Standard Cover Explained • “This is where you itemise everything that is going and put a replacement value beside it and tally the values to find a total insured value. ” • As much as possible, all items/cartons need to be listed and valued. Do not suggest in any way that items can be “selected” for insurance. We do not do this. TIP! Replacement Cost may be referred to as ‘New for Old” as this may have more meaning to the customer.

Tips for International Insurance • Discuss General Averaging with client (Discuss with your manager)

Tips for International Insurance • Discuss General Averaging with client (Discuss with your manager) • International moves have greater risks involved. Longer times, sometimes more handling, changes in weather conditions and more instability of vessels • Most Australian H & C Insurance Policies cover total loss only • When clients are taking about insurance, as well as considering insuring the value of the move, they need to consider the replacement cost of their possessions at the destination. • We need to stress that Grace: • has the most comprehensive and easy to understand insurance policy in the industry • offers the fastest claims process in the industry • employs fully trained removalists who are managed by service levels • Sell the move, then get the insurance if possible
