Increase your income—
insure what you appraise!
When consumers buy jewelry they need two things: a jewelry appraisal and jewelry insurance. As a gemologist-appraiser who is also a JIBNA insurance agent, you can fill both those needs.
You can write the appraisal, counsel your clients about their jewelry, and then offer them the best jewelry insurance. You will act as their agent, submitting insurance applications and reaping the rewards.
Acquire a steadily increasing revenue stream
Agents receive a commission when the policy is written and each year at renewal time. Your commission continues as long as the policy continues. Over the years, the income mounts up.
Add a new dimension of services for your clients
Customers are already coming to you for appraisals. By adding an insurance license to your credentials and CV, you can also offer customers jewelry insurance coverage.
Strengthen relationships with your clients
Clients who can get both an appraisal and insurance coverage through the same person are much more likely to return with their future jewelry purchases. This means future appraisal fees, as well as ongoing insurance commissions.
Increase your customer base
As an agent for JIBNA, you can establish relationships with local agents. Those who do not offer standalone jewelry policies would be happy to recommend you to their customers. Agents who need appraisals may prefer that you write the jewelry policy as well, since "you’re the expert."
