Scheme Mechanics was presented at the British Insurance Brokers Association annual conference in May 2013, with the objective of giving brokers a greater understanding of schemes and how to present a scheme opportunity to an insurer.
This presentation gives brokers a greater understanding of:
• Identifying a scheme opportunity
• Tactical research methods
• Presenting a scheme to an insurer
• How to realise value from a scheme
• The steps involved in setting up a successful scheme
If you are an insurance broker that is new to schemes, or even if you’re currently active in the schemes marketplace, this presentation will give you some valuable advice on how to take your scheme to the next level.

Key point is that if brokers are product focused and not focused on what their customers want they will get left behind:A UK General survey undertaken in April 2013 revealed that:
