This was a big win that came down to strong relationships and quick action. The account was originally positioned with the incumbent carrier, and while another competitor swooped in late with aggressive pricing, our partner agent stood firm in advocating for Nirvana. Even though we weren’t the lowest number on the table, the insured recognized the long-term value of maintaining their trusted agency relationship and beginning a partnership with Nirvana. This shows how agent advocacy and our differentiated value can overcome last-minute pricing pressure.

This renewal was complex and required multiple revisions, creative structuring, and ongoing collaboration. Midway through the process, another market entered with a substantially lower quote. The insured made it clear they valued their relationship with Nirvana but needed meaningful relief to move forward. By adjusting the renewal terms, including changes to the APD deductible and offering a camera subsidy, we delivered a solution that balanced affordability with long-term value. In the end, the insured chose to remain with Nirvana, a testament to strong communication, flexibility, and partnership.

We declined this account last year due to prior safety issues, but advised the insured that if they could demonstrate overall improvements in areas such as driver quality and safety practices, we would reevaluate them the following year. Determined to partner with Nirvana, the insured went above and beyond, implementing significant safety improvements and establishing a strong safety program for their fleet. This win highlights the insured’s persistence and commitment, as well as their confidence in Nirvana to support their long-term success—a true win-win for everyone.

This account initially faced challenges with unsafe driving violations. However, over the past 12 months, they worked diligently to reduce citations and improve their BASIC score, which was reflected in their above-average safety rating. This accomplishment was a testament to their efforts and allowed us to secure them with coverage, proving that their hard work truly paid off. They’re excited to partner with Nirvana to continue to improve their safety program.
