Top Recommendations

01
Build a client portal and automated quote system
Right now, every quote request requires manual email or phone follow-up during business hours. A custom system could let prospects request quotes 24/7, auto-assign them to the right broker, and track every interaction in one place. Clients could log in anytime to view their policies, renewal dates, and claims history — reducing repetitive admin questions and positioning Village as more tech-forward than competitors still running on email.

02
Claim your Google Business Profile and optimize for local search
No Google Business Profile means you're invisible when expats search 'insurance broker Wan Chai' or 'expat health insurance Hong Kong.' Claiming and optimizing your profile with reviews, photos, and office hours would put you on the map — literally — and drive inbound leads from the exact people already looking for your services.

03
Set up automated renewal and follow-up reminders
Insurance policies renew annually, but there's no system tracking when clients are due or sending proactive reminders. A simple automation could email clients 60 and 30 days before renewal, suggest coverage updates based on life changes, and flag at-risk policies before they lapse. This turns reactive service into proactive retention.
