The risks posed by lithium batteries
Lithium-ion batteries were first mass-produced in the early 1990s, and they are performing a key role in the move away from reliance upon fossil fuels. However, using lithium to store energy presents a new set of risks to property underwriters.
This session is designed to draw the underwriter’s and broker’s attention to these risks and why rating and wording alterations may be needed to counter this growing problem

Challenging for Sales and Client Success – Part II
For decades B2B organisations in solution selling have focused their sales approach on understanding client needs and building strong relationships. But research in recent years has clearly established that this is no longer enough, and that the very best salespeople go beyond traditional consultative and solution selling to ‘challenge’ their clients in multiple ways. This session moves on to explore the second and third components of the challenger sales methodology, tailoring for resonance and controlling the sale.

Business Interruption
For many businesses, when loss occurs, it’s not just the devastation of the loss of property facilities that they trade from, but the wider impact of having to temporarily close to allow the insurers to reinstate the property; it’s the loss of business and income. In this course, you will explore what business interruption is and the connection with property insurance.
We will discover how business interruption can be set up, how cover is set and the typical policy extensions and exclusions that you can expect to find within a policy wording. Finally, we will explore how a policy will respond to such losses.

The Insurance Poverty Premium: what is it and what must insurers and brokers do right now?
The poverty premium results in the financial exclusion of people on low incomes and/or in vulnerable circumstances. With the issues of financial inclusion and fair value very high (and rightly so) on the FCA´s agenda, as well as the issue of the poverty premium in insurance receiving a great deal of parliamentary scrutiny, it is important that insurers and brokers understand what exactly the poverty premium is and what they must do right now!

WEBINAR - Help your client retire with confidence by powering up your CRP
Striking the right balance between your clients' goals and their tolerance for risk during retirement can be tricky. With the Financial Conduct Authority's thematic review shining a light on retirement income advice, it's increasingly vital for firms to evaluate their Centralised Retirement Proposition (CRP) to ensure they are providing the best possible outcomes for clients as they draw down their retirement funds.
