Kickstand Insurance

Workers’ compensation is shifting from endless phone calls, in-person meetings, and email communication with agents to instantly getting insurance policy quotes online. However, up to two-thirds of online insurance quotes contain incorrect or repeated information that may cause problems during audits.

Identifying this need for a streamlined process of obtaining workers’ compensation, Kickstand Insurance has developed an online quoting system that provides accurate quotes in less than ten minutes or within 48 hours.

Kickstand offers the convenience of instant quotes while ensuring precision with the help of experienced and licensed insurance agents. These experts provide a qualified review, rectify discrepancies in a client’s paperwork, and deliver tailored policies that perfectly align with their unique needs. Their comprehensive feedback acts as a helpful guide to enlighten those new in the industry and unfamiliar with the purpose of policies and auditing processes. This helps them make well-informed decisions, navigate the insurance process, and receive desired compensation.

Further educating clients on workers’ compensation is Kickstand’s wealth of free resources, which includes weekly YouTube videos that cover one topic or question and simplify it into easy-to-understand concepts. It also offers a vast knowledge base through detailed articles on various industry topics and an insurance terms glossary that eliminates the confusion and uncertainty for landscapers and businesses in healthcare, property management, and other industries.

“We believe that an educated client is a more empowered client, and therefore, we designed resources that include relevant policy information on every industry in all 50 states of the U.S.,” says Sori Apfelbaum, chief marketing officer at Kickstand Insurance.

What truly sets Kickstand apart is its commitment to exceptional customer service and dedication to helping them find the best insurance policies. Rather than a policy purchase, it considers insurance acquisition an opportunity to build supportive, friendly, and helpful client relationships. Exemplifying this is Kickstand’s countless positive reviews and referrals. Recently, a potential client reached out for assistance after a year and a half of prior communication, highlighting its customer-centricity’s longevity and impact.

Specialists in providing insurance policies for startups, Kickstand understands the challenges entrepreneurs and new businesses face in finding the right insurance coverage. Particularly, firms in non-traditional industries struggle due to their limited expertise in purchasing suitable policies.

Compounding this is the latency they experience when seeking agent support, who often do not prioritize their relatively smaller needs for timely guidance. This is where Kickstand’s system can be a game-changer. Its solution assists small business owners in enhancing their workers’ compensation processes with a round-the-clock expert support team that reviews policies and answers relevant questions, providing fully covered and timely policies.

Kickstand leverages its knowledge of insurance carriers specializing in specific industries and partners with them to quickly and efficiently provide the appropriate policies. For complex scenarios, it assigns compatible insurers that can help clients easily get the required coverage. Above all, Kickstand’s methodology revolves around constantly being alert, immediately working on new client requests, and getting startups off the ground with relevant licenses and approvals.

Instead of waiting weeks to receive a quote from an agent, Kickstand allows businesses to get a quick and easy idea of their desired policy and its quotations. Whether the yneed to submit a certificate of insurance as a payroll requirement or are facing fines due to the unavailability of a certificate, it follows a ‘speed is king’ ideology that proactively prioritizes the best-suited policy acquisitions. These competencies enable businesses without insurance expertise to confidently cover and secure their assets.

A recent case depicting Kickstand’s abilities is of a cleaning company that needed assistance to secure a contract with a real estate property manager. This client had been in business for quite some time but never had to acquire a workers’ compensation policy. However, due to the new partnership, they had to fulfill requirements for coverage and documentation. This was further complicated by the limited availability of online insurance providers offering the desired policies.

For this project, Kickstand educated them on the coverage and policy structures required to meet their new partner’s contract specifications. Above all, it helped the cleaning company secure the necessary coverage and documents online, ultimately attaining the contract and growing their business.

Apfelbaum predicts a faster evolution toward online quotes in the coming years, which will require every insurance provider to build an online presence that offers instant quotes. Aiming to help clients adapt to this shift, Kickstand continues to develop services and online tools that streamline insurance acquisition, boost worker compensation processes, and increase business productivity.
