Working with Shepherd
Shepherd was sent a renewal submission with a request for a prompt turnaround. Within one business day, we communicated our initial indication of appetite and provided a pricing indication the next day. We collaborated closely with the broker team to pinpoint our target layer and turnaround our proposal with revisions quickly to meet the client’s needs.
Why We Won
Shepherd was excited about this opportunity from the start and eager to partner with this broker team. Our responsiveness and collaboration were key to understanding the risk and targeting our layer in the tower. We worked closely with the broker team to provide the most competitive pricing and meet the target timeline, which was crucial in securing this deal.
