Our comprehensive cyber suite endorsement is now available for monoline general liability (GL) and business package policies in select states!

Offered through the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company and replacing the data security endorsement for business package policies, cyber suite for monoline GL and business package policies offers expanded limits of up to $5 million to provide protection for more complex business exposures.

How to add cyber suite

Coverage can be selected at new business or midterm by endorsement. Business package policies that currently include the data security endorsement will receive policyholder notices at renewal advising of the new endorsement being added to the renewal policy and a summary of the changes. Cyber suite will automatically attach on new business quotes for comprehensive business packages and will display within the Optional Coverages under the Summary of Policy Coverages. To add cyber suite to monoline GL or custom protector policies, select Cyber Suite from the Optional Coverages Type dropdown in eCLIQ^®.

When quoting limits over $1 million, you will be prompted to fill out a supplemental form so our dedicated underwriters can assist you with a personalized quote.

Add optional cyber fraud coverage

For the highest level of protection for your clients, be sure to add the optional set of cyber fraud coverages, too. From the Summary of Policy Coverages section, find Cyber Suite under Optional Coverages and click Edit. Select an insurance limit from the Limit of Insurance dropdown, check the box for Include Cyber Fraud Coverage and the cyber fraud limit will populate accordingly. Click Update to save your changes.

We’ve made some major upgrades to auto in eCLIQ^® Simple™. Our refreshed commercial auto product offers enhanced pricing segmentation, flexible coverages and a much faster, easier quoting experience. What’s more, expanded eligibility allows you to quote nearly 80% of commercial auto risks in eCLIQ Simple!

You’ll find our pricing most competitive when writing business with the following risk characteristics:

• Retail, professional services, real estate and manufacturing industries
• Well-established businesses (15+ years)
• Older vehicles (10+ years)
• Drivers age 35 to 55 without violations
• Quotes with heavily populated driver lists, preferably with at least as many drivers on the policy as there are power units
• Claims-free businesses with favorable insurance scores
• Smaller fleets with 1-4 power units

To provide the most accurate rate when quoting new business, we’re now asking for a few additional pieces of information: the owner’s name, date of birth and address and an authorization to run a soft credit inquiry.

If you’re looking for inspiration this season — and aren’t we all? — your fellow independent agents have you covered. To close 2022 on a grateful note, we’ve gathered stories and advice from agents across the country to create a celebration called “12 Days of Agent Stories.”

These stories are based on a survey we conducted in which agents were asked to share business tips, personal advice and other pearls of wisdom. And we’re sharing some of their responses in 12 installments that will run December 5-20. To read them, visit the Liberty Mutual LinkedIn or Facebook pages.

After you read each story, we want to hear from you, too! So visit the pages daily and share your thoughts and experiences to keep the inspiration going.

To improve data accuracy and modernize our reporting process for commercial auto policies in California, we’re partnering with LexisNexis to electronically report commercial and fleet policy and coverage details to the Department of Motor Vehicles beginning Nov. 2022. There will be no changes to your quoting experience as a result of this change.

While we expect this process to improve data accuracy, if you ever need to update any of the reported policy information, please email businesslinesrequests@libertymutual.com for assistance.

When inaccurate data is used to rate policies and make underwriting decisions, premiums become misaligned with risk profiles, which stifles growth and drives premium increases at renewal. That’s why it’s important to collect accurate data at quote time. Starting Dec. 12, we’ll be conducting policy renewal reviews of Liberty Mutual small commercial policies to ensure the accuracy of passthrough classifications. In the next few weeks, you’ll hear more information regarding verification of discount eligibility or pre-fill overrides.

First, we’ll email you if something is changing on the policy. Then, we’ll process a conditional renewal reflecting changes to the renewal policy. Lastly, we will send a conditional renewal notice to notify the customer of the expected changes. Review the Agent’s Playbook to get familiar with eligibility guidelines and how to avoid common errors in assigning class codes or take our new on-demand risk classification training. Remember to use SmartNav to pre-qualify all new business, and further ensure accuracy by providing a detailed Description of Operations in your quote. With your help, we can stabilize rates to provide a better experience for your clients and grow your agency’s book. If you have questions, contact your underwriter or territory manager.
