If one is writing 5-10 policies a week and working 8-10 counties in rotation it's physically impossible to hand deliver policies . Also think about how hard it was to find a time for appt to begin with. Trying to hand deliver everything would be a nightmare .I just decided my overall time and profitability is much better spent writing additional policies verses hand delivering.
I average 6+ policies per week and have for 7 or 8 years now. I work 14 counties. I deliver policies.
There was a time I didn't. I went back to delivering policies about 3 years ago. My production also went up when I went back to delivering.
It's not physically impossible. But it's to each agent to decide. I'm glad I went back to delivering. It's one more thing that separates me from other agents.
When i do replacements I ask if the other agent delivered the policy. Most of the time the answer is no. That gives me another chance to let them know they are in different hands now.
