Working with Shepherd
The broker team sent this submission to Shepherd, seeking a prompt response to help their insured add an additional $3M in coverage to their tower. We quickly evaluated the risk and provided our initial indication within just 5 hours. The following business day, we delivered a quote that met the target pricing and coverage needs, which bound that same day.

Why We Won
This opportunity presented itself following a previous win with the broker team, who had first-hand experience with our responsiveness and speed. Acknowledging the significance of timing for this account, we prioritized the request to meet the urgent timeline. Through close collaboration with the broker team, we gained a comprehensive understanding of the operations and loss history, which allowed us to deliver a quote within 24 hours that aligned with the desired pricing and terms.
