Read on to find out some of the many advantages of becoming an Allianz Partners Specialist for both you and your clients.

The number one advantage of becoming an Allianz Partners Specialist is earning extra commissions that can be paid before your clients even begin their trips. What's more, selling comprehensive policies from Allianz can protect not only your clients but commissions on trips you've already booked.

Travel advisors partnering with Allianz can do so with confidence knowing that their clients are sure to be content with their investment. After all, Allianz has maintained a consistent and impressive 96 percent customer satisfaction rating.

In the grand scheme of things, travel insurance is a relatively small investment when it comes to your clients' total trip cost, so it's almost always a wise addition. However, not every client is going to want to add a protection plan. By becoming an Allianz Partners Specialist you'll acquire the knowledge and tools to sell the ideal plan based on your clients' trip length and type, flexibility and health risks.

Travel insurance has adapted with the times. Allianz now offers new covered reasons for epidemics with certain travel insurance plans that provide your clients with more timely and relevant reasons to purchase a policy when they book their next trip.

The TravelSmart app is another advantage of becoming an Allianz Partners Specialist, providing your clients with a convenient tool that they can use to stay informed during their travels, access help in the event of an emergency and even submit and track claims in real-time.

Allianz's proactive payment system SmartBenefits actively monitors customers' flights and issues automatic payments after qualifying flight and baggage delays and has already covered more than two million customers since its inception in 2018.

Given its track record, Allianz is no stranger to awards and has piled up some of the most sought-after accolades in the industry in recent years, including Travvy awards as well as Travel Weekly Readers Choice, Wave and Magellan honors.
