INNOVATION FEATURE
In the period 1994 to 2004, Progressive Insurance increased sales from $1.3 billion to $9.5 billion, and ranks high in the Business Week Top 50 U.S. companies for shareholder value creation.
The company invents new ways of providing services to save customers time, money and irritation, while often lowering costs at the same time.
Loss adjusters are sent to the road accidents rather than working at head office, and they have the power to write checks on the spot.
Progressive reduced the time needed to see a damaged automobile from seven days to nine hours.
Policy holders’ cars are repaired quicker, and the focus on this central customer need has won much automobile insurance business for Progressive.
These initiatives also enable Progressive to reduce its own costs – the cost of storing a damaged automobile for a day is $28, about the same as the profit from a six-month policy.
