Sheridan Insurances is a leading insurance broker operating from Cavan in the north east of Ireland. Founded in 1979 by Benny and Miriam Sheridan, the company has carved out a niche by providing bespoke customer service tailored to each and every client. This has set them apart in a highly competitive landscape, with the company boasting customers in various sectors nationwide.
Previously, the group took payments for mid-term adjustments and policy renewals over the phone, but more and more, this restricted payments to be taken by advisors only during working hours. With a focus on customer service, it was vital that they had a payment process that would follow suit and give more flexibility to their customers.
Furthermore, refunds that were due to customers for mid-term policy changes created a huge amount of administration. Sending cheques for small refund amounts was laborious and ensuring those cheques were cashed, as per regulatory requirements, created a massive burden.
Prommt was selected by Sheridan Insurances to provide a much more efficient solution to these challenges. They implemented Prommt in April 2020 to great success.
Direct payments for new policies are no longer taken over the phone. When the policy premium has been agreed, the client receives a secure personalised payment link via email, SMS or staff members can send a simple pay-by-link by using Prommt’s new ShareLink feature – this has proven to be particularly popular, as a payment request can be copied directly from the platform and then deployed via webchat, WhatsApp, or within any ongoing communication with customers.
Best of all, refunds can be applied instantly via the Prommt system, eliminating the need to issue cheques and track the status of those cheques. This has been a real game-changer for Sheridan Insurances.
