5 Questions Every Livestock & Property Agent Should Ask
A practical conversation guide to help identify clients who may benefit from a Crop Insurance discussion.
You don't need to provide insurance advice.
Many livestock clients also operate broadacre cropping enterprises.
Simply recognising when a Crop Insurance discussion may be worthwhile helps ensure your client has the opportunity to receive specialist advice before the season begins.
This guide is designed to help start that conversation.
Does your client grow broadacre crops?
Examples include:
Why it matters
Crop Insurance is usually arranged separately from many farm insurance policies and should reflect the client's farming operation.
Has anything changed since last season?
Why it matters
Changes to the farming business may affect how Crop Insurance should be structured.
When was their Crop Insurance last reviewed?
Why it matters
Many growers continue with the same arrangements for several seasons without reviewing whether they still reflect how the business now operates.
Have they recently discussed Crop Insurance with a broker?
A review provides an opportunity to discuss current operations, policy structure and any recent business changes.
Would another conversation be valuable?
Sometimes clients simply appreciate another perspective before the season begins.
If there is uncertainty, a referral may be worthwhile.
A referral may be worth considering if your client:
Operates a broadacre cropping enterprise.
Has expanded the farming business.
Has purchased or leased additional land.
Has changed cropping activities.
Has not reviewed Crop Insurance recently.
Would value another insurance conversation.
