They don't because they focus on selling policies than caring about the client's needs. The can try to get their agents to follow up with the client, though its not required that the agent to do so.
Usually clients don't change their insurance company unless some other agent from another company speaks to them.

In my case they usually don't. I always look round on the net and can usually get cover cheaper than my renewal quote even when i phone up to cancel they don't usually seem too bothered.

Customer service. We all do the same thing. It is HOW we do it that makes us different. I am an independent agent that truly cares about my clients, and always look out for their best interest. I shop their coverage every year for them to make sure they are getting the best "bang for their buck."

As an independent agent I try to provide excellent customer service. Since I am an independent agent, if it benefits the customer I will shop their insurance in the companies within the other companies I represent and change them if lower.

Competition in the insurance market can be brutal. On the front end the best way to retain customers is with pricing and service. The company has to have enough people on staff to answer questions quickly. Doesn't matter if it is through a local agents office or through a direct writer/internet company (like Geico)
On the back end customer retention is accomplished via fast, fair claim service after an accident. (not always easy) Again the company has to have staff that can answers quickly (Progressive is very good at this). Another good way to retain their customers is for the company to fight to get back their policyholders deductible from at-fault parties or the at-fault parties insurance company

Pricing and service.. and maintianing a strong financial rating (some people look for that)...
Thats about it. I dont care if a green lizard is selling it to me. If it's more expensive, or if their claims handling/service sucks, I'll go somwhere else.

It depends on the type of insurance. Life insurance companies know that once they get you to buy the policy, your not going any where until the term date is up or you die.
Property and Auto insurance companies have a much tougher time. The first step they take to get as many of their customer to pay their bills through automatic withdrawl from a checking account or credit card. They have found that this increases retention by at least 4%. The other huge thing that insurance companies strive for is multi-line customers. They know that customers that have multiple policies with them are much more likely to stick around a lot longer. Thats why they give a multi-line discount.
