# Why Do You Need a Salesforce Broker Portal and How to Install It

For personal insurance, do you tend to call someone or lookup on Google for the answers?

It's Google, probably!

Because it's easy and convenient to find answers and solutions rather than asking for help.

We expect round-the-clock service, which is not possible in a traditional approach. Technology has transformed convenience into luxury and is now a necessity. Insurance brokers need to embrace technology to stay competitive in the digital environment. The key is to bring a solution like a Salesforce broker portal that helps brokers know when an existing customer has a policy in another line with them.

Broker portals boost brokers' efficiency, enable mobility, and enhance customer experience. With the help of Salesforce broker portals, insurers can create personalized offers tailored for individual customers by analyzing their surveys and other open data.

The right solution can help protect backend operations and streamline frontend operations to ensure a 360-degree view of the customers.

But what exactly does a broker portal mean? Let's find out!

What is a Broker portal? And How does it Work?

A broker portal is a configurable self-service portal that gives insurance agents/brokers the power to acquire more clients by managing client acquisitions and entire business operations from a centralized solution.

It gives agents/brokers access to every department irrespective of the location or device.

Brokers can use the Salesforce broker portal to obtain quotes, client details, renew policies, submit claim data, etc.

The newly acquired portal provides brokers with all the required functionalities in a single solution, reducing the time dedicated to management tasks. The consolidation of all brokers' services in one place helps insurance companies achieve better technical and operational management.
