McKenzie explained the process for requesting access to Slide, which includes confirming a $60 licensing fee and minimum annual requirements. Carissa provided an overview of Slide's platforms, highlighting the Violet platform for quoting HO3 and HO6 business in Florida and the legacy platform for DP3 business. She emphasized the importance of accessing the Agent Resource Hub for information and shared details about Slide's financial ratings, reinsurance program, and product offerings.
Violet Platform Policy Writing Demo
Carissa demonstrated the Violet platform's functionality, focusing on policy writing for HO3, HO6, and DP3 in Florida and South Carolina. She explained how the system handles binding restrictions, displays notifications for policy changes, and generates estimated premiums based on third-party data. Carissa also covered the process of creating quotes, including entering policyholder information, selecting package endorsements, and managing email preferences for electronic document delivery. She emphasized the importance of reviewing the replacement cost estimator and highlighted the platform's online portal features for policyholders.
Home Insurance Coverage Customization Guide
Carissa explained how to use the replacement cost estimator to customize home insurance coverage, including the handling of screen enclosures and optional hurricane coverage. She demonstrated how wind mitigation credits are automatically applied based on home age and location, with the option to alter these credits if a wind mitigation inspection is conducted within 10 days of binding. Carissa also showed how policyholders can choose between package endorsements that lock down coverage options or standard policies that allow for more customization, while highlighting the importance of reviewing screen enclosure coverages when using multi-rater systems.
Insurance Policy Customization and Underwriting
Carissa demonstrated how to customize insurance policies by offering full, limited, or water damage exclusion coverage options, which provides flexibility in reviewing risks and underwriting guidelines. She explained the process of converting quotes to applications, reviewing underwriting questions, adding additional insureds, confirming coverages, and binding policies, emphasizing the importance of payment options and document attachments. Carissa also clarified that 4-point inspections are not required until a home is 50 years old, and outlined age restrictions for roofs and unacceptable wiring and plumbing, while noting that HO3, HO6, and DP3 policies are open statewide except in Monroe County.
DP3 Insurance Application Process
Carissa explained the process of quoting and applying for a DP3 insurance policy, emphasizing that only fields marked with red asterisks need to be completed. She clarified that owner-occupied DP3s are ineligible, but seasonally occupied properties with rental exposure may be considered. Carissa demonstrated the intuitive nature of the system, which highlights errors and prompts users to complete missing information. She also covered details about replacement cost estimators, wind mitigation credits, and the ability to customize coverages. Carissa noted that underwriting reviews typically take one business day, and she provided guidance on using the online portal for policyholders to access their policies safely.
Online Portal and Appointment Process
Carissa demonstrated the online portal and mobile apps that allow agents and their clients to access policy information, make payments, and file claims. She explained that agents can request appointments through the portal by confirming understanding of minimum production requirements and a $60 licensing fee. The Slide team, led by Kristen, will process appointment requests as quickly as possible, with the $50,000 minimum requirement being firm but potentially negotiable on a case-by-case basis.
