Spoiler Alert:  I don’t think paying more money on a Claim ensures a great experience.

After appearing on a podcast with my good friend Joey Giangola, another friend in the industry asked me where was my line for paying more money to ensure a great customer experience.

If we think cash is the only difference, we are definitely selling our Claims folks and our Customers short.

We jump into this discussion in this episode of The Insurance Nerdery.
