Our industry has sat through plenty of those. So, I want to be deliberate about the words I…

According to Marsh’s Global Insurance Market Index, global commercial insurance rates declined 5% in Q1 2026, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of rate decreases following seven years of increases.

It’s a knowledge problem. For insurance professionals…

What the 2026 Broker Services Survey Tells Us About Renewal Timing By Justin Regenwether, Chief Customer Officer, Zywave Renewal season has always been the moment of truth in the broker-client relationship: it’s when a client finds out whether their broker has been paying attention or just showing up on occasion.
