Ausure announce incentives & changes to Executive Team as part of strategy to bring on New Authorised Representative Broker Partners

Ausure has announced a change in roles for their Executive Team as part of their focus on bringing new AR’s to the group.

Adam Sloan, previously head of Blended Broking and Sales, has been appointed as General Manager of Business Development. Sloan’s role will focus primarily on encouraging Insurance Brokerages to join Ausure. Adam will also be overseeing ongoing development and training opportunities for emerging talent and working alongside Charline Mitchener (GM of Marketing) on the Broking & Digital Sales strategy to bring new opportunities and partnerships that support business growth for Corporate AR’s.

“Ausure has dedicated significant time to branding, alignment, and enhancing our processes and automation to ensure we provide best-in-class service to our authorised representatives. We are highly selective in choosing who joins our group, as both our reputation and that of our representatives are crucial. Eager to grow and expand, we are now focusing on adding new authorised representatives for the first time in a while. We believe we can offer a genuine point of difference compared to others in the market”.

Adam Sloan, General Manager of Business Development at Ausure.

Ausure is considered one of Australia's leading Broking Groups.

Ausure is one of the leading insurance broking groups in Australia and their commitment to their Corporate Authorised Representatives to provide ongoing support, development, mentoring and continual development of new initiatives has secured their spot as one of the preferred broking groups to be part of in Australia.

With recent changes announced that will affect brokerages that are part of other broking groups and their access to the Steadfast SCTP platform, Ausure is ramping up their focus on acquiring new AR’s. Aside from their existing list of benefits and services that an Ausure AR gets access to, Ausure are offering new Branches that join a number of incentives that will assist with associated costs of the transition to join the group.

Brokers urged to carefully compare service offerings.

Brokerages considering other groups, are encouraged to reach out to Adam Sloan to discuss incentives and benefits of joining Ausure. When comparing broking groups, owners need to carefully compare service offerings available, such as access to systems, marketing services and technology support. Most importantly, paying careful attention to long notice periods and high licensee/compliance fees, something which Ausure does not charge offices for. Businesses that are currently tied into long notice periods are still encouraged to discuss possible options with Ausure.

Key Benefits of being part of Ausure include:

Steadfast being a major shareholder of Ausure whilst still having management shareholders who have been with Ausure since the beginning
3 unique service models that allow business owners to choose a model which works best for them
Training & Development for AR’s & staff, including 50% subsidy for Tier 1, Tier 2 and Diplomas
Opportunities to partner with Ausure as a Joint Venture and opportunity to grow through acquisitions
Service Options for full claims handling and back office processing to free up brokers
Leading technology offerings, including a Debtors Management platform which is being rolled out for free to all AR’s
Superior Marketing Support, Tools & Initiatives
Legal & Compliance Support
Opportunity to dual brand as Ausure which provides additional incentives, marketing services and offerings as well as the ability to leverage and take part in the Ausure National Advertising Campaign (Ausure Knights Sponsorship, Billboard, Bus, Social Media and Google Ad Words advertising)
New Business Leads to Ausure trading offices for free and soon to be released opportunity to opt into lead specialty pages from the Ausure website to receive additional leads

To make the transition to join Ausure as pain free and easy as possible, Brokerages will be offered incentives as well as receive:

Dedicated Branch Project Manager to oversee the project
Full Marketing support and services during the transition
Training & Development Manager to train staff
Ausure has also secured a number of pre-set dates with Steadfast for Data Transfers

Other changes to the executive team include Vickie Jeffery being announced as General Manager of Technology & Systems, Deb Whyte as the General Manager of People & Culture and Charline Mitchener being named as the General Manager of Marketing.

Individuals that fall into one of the below categories are highly encouraged to reach out discuss incentives and what Ausure can offer you and your business:

Brokerages looking to change broking groups for better support, services and platform access
Business owners of brokerages that have their own AFSL and prefer the security and support of being part of a national broking group backed by Steadfast
Business Owners beginning to consider avenues for a succession plan
Qualified & experienced Insurance Brokers looking to start their own business
