Paducah Bank’s New Insurance Agency Shatters Sales Records
East Windsor, CT – Paducah Bank’s new insurance agency, PBT Insurance Services, shattered first month sales records as they launched their new full service insurance agency. The number of customers who connected to the agency for insurance quotes was a one-month record for their asset size, and a record 58% of the customers that asked for an auto, home or business quote bought a policy.
Mardie Herndon, President of Paducah Bank stated: “Launching our wholly-owned PBT Insurance Agency has been a tremendous experience for our leadership team and our entire organization. We focused intently on communicating our new agency’s capabilities to our customers, and the response from customers and employees has been very enthusiastic. We work hard to create value for our customers and the communities we serve every day. With 100% of our customers buying insurance from someone every year, adding a full service insurance agency stitched into the fabric of the bank has been a great decision.”
Jeff Chesky, President and CEO of Insuritas, noted: “Paducah Bank’s leadership has shattered our agency launch performance for a bank in their asset size. Banks are uniquely positioned to provide the insurance products their customers need to buy from someone every year, and Paducah has shown extraordinary leadership in communicating their new agency’s products and services.” Chesky added, “Our deployment team has installed our award winning E-InsuranceAISLE™, LoanINSURE® and SmartCART Technology℠ platforms, creating a virtual ‘Insurance Aisle’ inside the Bank. Our technology framework coupled with the strong brand equity of Paducah Bank will provide a powerful lift in recurring, value added, non-cyclical fee income while helping more customers and small businesses save time and money on insurance.”
