Business Wire
The Hartford has joined the TrustedChoice.com commercial insurance platform in
an effort to further support the growth of independent agents. The
Trusted Choice website helps connect consumers who are shopping for
insurance with a local independent agent who can help them choose
the right insurance coverage for their business.
“Independent agents are key trusted advisors in helping prepare
and protect small business owners from the unexpected,” said
Stephanie Bush, senior vice president of Small Commercial insurance
at The Hartford. “Independent agents are fundamental to our
business and we continuously look for ways to help them grow.”
The Hartford will pilot the program in Colorado, Illinois,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington, DC.
“The Hartford is a leader in the independent insurance agency
channel,” said Chip Bacciocco, CEO of TrustedChoice.com. “Adding
The Hartford to our platform provides independent agents with more
opportunity to capture new commercial insurance clients.”
Bob Rusbuldt, CEO of the Independent Insurance Agents and Broker
America, said, “The Hartford has always been very supportive of the
independent agency system and to have the company join
TrustedChoice.com is a testament to the strength of the local
independent agent.”
