The prompt

Write a neutral explanation of what an agent-of-record (or broker-of-record) change means for a client, the general steps, and that their coverage terms don't change just because the agent changes.

Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)

Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (the type of policy, whether it's an email, text or call, and tone). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team.

Task: Write a neutral explanation of what an agent-of-record (or broker-of-record) change means for a client, the general steps, and that their coverage terms don't change just because the agent changes.

What a good result looks like

A good explanation tells the client what an agent-of-record (or broker-of-record) change means: a different agent will service the policy, the coverage terms themselves don't change, and there's usually a signed letter involved. It's neutral and doesn't criticize the previous agent.

Common mistakes and watch-outs

Don't speak badly about the previous agent or agency, and don't say the change will lower the price. The exact process and timing depend on the insurer and line of business, so keep steps general and confirm specifics before promising dates.

How to adapt the prompt

Ask for a commercial version for business owners (broker-of-record letters are more common there) or a short FAQ for your website. You can also ask for a template letter with placeholders for the client to review.

EXAMPLE output (placeholder data, not a real client)

What an agent-of-record change means

An agent-of-record change lets you choose a different agent to service your existing policy. Your coverage, limits and policy terms stay the same; only the agent who helps you changes.

General steps:
1. You sign a letter naming [Agency Name] as your agent.
2. We send it to your insurance company.
3. The insurer confirms the change, usually after a short period.

Your previous agent may contact you; that's normal. Questions? Call [Phone].
