The world was turned upside down a year ago when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. It went into lockdown, consumers remained quarantined in their homes, and businesses were forced to adapt and change in order to remain above water. As with most other industries, insurance wasn’t immune to the impacts of COVID-19—carriers, agents, and brokers all needed to drastically change their business models in order to continue to meet customer expectations, retain current clients, and attract new ones. Here are 4 trends we have seen emerge from the pandemic that the insurance industry will continue to embrace post-pandemic. 

This month I am delighted to welcome Bill Suneson, the co-founder and CEO of Bindable.

Bindable, the insurtech leader for alternative distribution, today announced the appointment of Jocelyn Getson as its new Chief Growth Officer. As the insurtech ecosystem continues its trajectory of rapid growth and customer expectations become more grounded in digital solutions, Getson joins the Bindable team at a pivotal time.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, independent insurance agents were uniquely placed within the market. Amid a surge of companies looking to disrupt the industry with a focus on technological innovation and end-to-end digital accessibility, independent agents catered to a demographic that valued a more personalized approach.

Roughly a full year into the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be difficult to enumerate all the hard lessons we have learned as a global community.

To say that 2020 was a whirlwind would be an understatement. Our world was completely rocked by the impact of COVID-19, quarantine and adjusting to the reality of working remotely from home. And it wasn’t just people who were forced to adjust; businesses were also burdened with having to quickly change course, some with little direction and few resources.

I continue to hear people talk about what the return to normal will look like once the pandemic is behind us. The reality is that as we work to regain our sense of normalcy, our new “normal” will still look very different, and business will be anything but usual. We have all been forced to adapt and change the way we live in order to survive. In the insurance world, independent agents (IAs) took a big hit due to the pandemic and many were compelled to quickly change their entire business structure in order to survive.
