Ep 45: The Emergence of Insuretech Solutions for Better Customer Experience, Retention, & RPU

Among the many things emerging in our industry, one of the exciting ones we wanted to focus on in this podcast is the emergence of integrated landlord insurance solutions in the SFR space. Insurance? Exciting? We know it was rebellious of us to use the two words in the same sentence. But...  in our conversation withSES Risk Solutions [https://www.ses-ins.com/], we talked about how Property Managers can leverage insuretech solutions like SES to offer better landlord insurance products to owner/clients, and create additional revenue per unit.
