Selling your title insurance agency can be complicated and time-consuming.
However, even during this transitional period, title professionals know they need to focus on what's most important: their customers. It's essential to be transparent about the changes to your company and explain the benefits the sale (or merger) will provide in the future. Most importantly, you must do all this while maintaining the highest level of service.
Title Success-Powered by Bowe Digital helps many companies complete this process each year. Here are some tips on how to manage your transition so your customers are as happy as you during this exciting time:
Maintain Quality Service
Continuing high-quality service is non-negotiable during transitions. While your customers should know about the transition, they shouldn't notice it because of a dip in customer service.
Ensure that customer service standards are not only upheld but improved where possible. Reassuring customers that their experience and satisfaction are top priorities can go a long way in retaining their trust.
Provide Frequently Asked Questions
Many of your customers may have similar questions during this process. The best way to let them know you understand their concerns is to answer them before they even ask. You can do this by providing a FAQ section on your website covering questions specifically about the transition. Include questions like:
- How will the merger affect my current policy?
- Will there be any changes to the contact personnel or support team?
- Can we expect any improvements in service delivery or turnaround times?
- Are there any changes in the pricing or fees due to the merger?
- How will the merger enhance the security of our transactions?
These answers show you can be trusted to be proactive and responsible during the transition.
Share Your Vision for the Future
Understanding the future direction of the company post-merger is crucial for customer confidence. Discuss how the transition will improve services, expand product offerings and benefit customers overall. If customers understand the increased value they will receive at the end of the process, they can turn from concerned bystanders to excited partners throughout the transition.
The Bottom Line
Maintaining excellent service and communicating transparently are the most important factors that can keep your customers happy during a transition. The best way to keep you happy during a sale or merger is by working with Title Success.
