Policyholder Email Address Accuracy 💌
Underwriting has noticed an increase in invalid policyholder email addresses, some tied to policies receiving the Paperless discount. Double-check that email addresses are accurate before binding policies to avoid disruptions and ensure your clients receive all critical communications.
Pro Tip: Valid email addresses are often found on Wind Mitigation reports or e-signed documents. Verifying them takes a moment and ensures compliance and a smooth experience for your clients.

Slate Tips & Tricks 📝
When finalizing a quote in Slate, don’t forget to click the Create Quote button at the top right of the page to ensure your work is saved. Navigating away or clicking “Finish” without saving will result in a lost quote—nobody needs that this time of year!
