PERFORMANCE PEUGEOT INSURANCE SCHEME WITH CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE

Hi to all!

Performance Peugeot have been in discussion with ourselves about an insurance scheme for all users on this forum and their family members.

We are glad to say that we have signed the deal so I'd just like to introduce myself & our company!

Chris Knott Insurance - http://www.chrisknott.co.uk - have been involved with car clubs for over 20 years so hopefully we'll understand your needs & requirements!

The scheme starts for ages 22 and over for Comprehensive cover, & 19 and over for TPF&T cover, and you must have at least 1 year's NCB (unless you have NCB on a second car or a company car letter to state at least 1 year's claim free driving).

All drivers must have held a full UK licence for at least 1 year, and to insure a 'performance' car, there must be at least 1 years experience of driving that, or similar performance cars. Unfortunately, the scheme is not competitive on all M - Manchester, L - Liverpool, OL - Oldham & SK1-12 - Stockport postcodes and excludes Northern Ireland.

I'll view the site regularly and try to answer any queries that you have.

In the meantime, please feel free to call the New Business Team when you receive your renewal through. A dedicated team, with years of experience, is waiting for your call!
(I personally don't do the quotes).


0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 & please don't forget to quote 'reference 961 – PERFORMANCE PEUGEOT'!

IT'S WORTH RINGING US BECAUSE........

Well, after my post about August being the second busiest month of the year for car insurance renewals, we have in the last week recorded our BEST EVER income regarding providing insurance for forum users (and their families). That's in 26 years!

If your renewal is due in the next 21 days, please don't hesitate to give us a call on 0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if calling by mobile and PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO QUOTE THE CLUB NAME & REFERENCE NUMBER found in either my signature or my original post introducing the scheme!

Don't forget to check out the original thread stating minimum ages, etc, for the scheme.

Please don't forget to ring us if you have received your car insurance renewal through.

People insuring with us in the first 6 months of this year made an average recorded saving of £60.02 off their BEST quote.

In July, we had our 3rd best month ever in 26 years of trading.

Earlier this month, we recorded our best ever weekly figures from the forums.

We have taken on more staff to cope with demand.

This scheme has been set up for you as a community so we can provide the discounts on your other cars as well!

Please ring 0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if ringing by mobile, and don't forget to mention the club name/reference number.

NEW IDEA!!!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK?
We are looking at launching a system whereby, to get a quote from us, you have the option of sending your details by email to us and then we will contact you with the quote.
This would also assist those who can't get ring us during working hours or those who would just prefer to correspond through the forum.
My question is would this be helpful to you?
I'd appreciate your comments.

There is no doubting the success of our insurance scheme and we do thank all of you for ringing us.

However, we are often asked about online quoting.



The scheme is such that it is impossible to quote online but we have an idea!



We prefer people to ring us for a quote but if you're car insurance renewal is due within the next 21 days, please feel free to complete the questions below, then copy & paste, then email to peter.haywood@chrisknott.co.uk, who will contact you with the quote.

AWAITING A GOOD QUOTE

still waiting

Did you email or phone as we are up to date?!
Whichever, can you pm me your name & postcode please together with when you rang & the number or email address you used so i can trace it?

Hi
We emailed back to say we couldn't help as you are 21!

My colleague is resending the email. Can you check your junk filter?

Please don't forget to ring us if your car insurance renewal is due in November. (You can also email us (see separate thread) if you can't ring Mon-Fri 9am-5pm or Sat morning 9am-noon).



From September onwards, we were given increased targets of attaining an extra 25% worth of business on already six figure sums (overall written premium) for new customers.



In both September & October, we have achieved this!

(The target set for renewal retention was also accomplished!).



This shows that, because of both our prices & customer service at new quoting stage & at renewal, surely it's worth a (free) call to get a quote?



0800 917 2274 or if phoning by mobile, 01580 752961, though not free. (Please make sure you fulfil the criteria so we can quote!).

After recording our 3rd best month ever in July, we have done it again in October - our 3rd best month ever! So thank you to everyone who has rung.



We've also now provided the option of emailing your quote details to us if you can't contact us by phone & the thread for that is found in an insurance section or my original post offering the scheme.



We are already way ahead in November based on previous years so I would encourage you to ring us (or email using the special template form only) when your car insurance renewal is due.



It really is a good time to ring us!

Typical, I live in Manchester...and a good part of it too (there's not many).

We’re pleased to announce the launch of Chris Knott Breakdown Cover to our car club/forum partners.



This high-quality, reliable cover is a fraction of the cost of RAC or AA cover and offers more benefits.



The price for full UK breakdown cover is £54.50 and major benefits include:

• Mechanical breakdown cover
  
• Recovery home or original destination if repairs cannot be carried out at roadside
  
• Accident or vandalism cover
  
• Fire, theft or attempted theft cover
  
• Flat battery, loss or breakage of keys cover
  
• Lack of fuel cover
  
• Accidental damage to tyres cover including punctures for motorcycles
  
• SMS text messaging service to mobile phone callers advising them of ETA of our operator
  

All the above benefits are available under the "Home Start" cover if the breakdown occurs at the Customer's home.



Please see http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/docs/ChrisKnottBreakdown.pdf for full details.



Cover is available at your breakdown renewal (which means you don't even have to be insured with us!) or to run in-line with your Chris Knott car insurance renewal date, and is underwritten by Brit Insurance Ltd.

Explanation of phone system changes
to improve call handling.
Just to let you know that we’ll shortly be improving our phone system so that you’ll find out sooner if all our operators are busy. This rarely happens now as we've added more staff but this is for the odd occasions when it may do.
At the moment, if the whole quoting team is engaged, customers get through to a receptionist who takes down a phone number and we call the customer back. The downside is that, when we ring back, it’s either not convenient for them to talk or we get voicemail.
So to improve things and increase your chances of getting through to us first time, we’ll no longer take down numbers for call-backs. Rather than keeping you holding, we’ll tell you earlier that we’re busy and ask you to call back when it’s most convenient to you.
That’ll save your time and your phone bill (unless you’re already saving by using our 0800 number) and we’ll be able to handle more calls first time round because we won’t have quote staff tied up ringing other customers back.
We’ll monitor how well it works over the coming weeks and make any changes as necessary.

Just as a matter of interest, when I look at the number of people who have called us from this forum and compare that to the number of forum users, it is quite a low percentage.

I realise that some people don't meet the criteria but we have broken records quite often this year in terms of income showing that this scheme is successful when people do ring us. In fact, we're on target for it being one of the best years we've ever had in 26 years of trading.

My question is why aren't more people calling us on here? Just curious!

at the minute this is still a reletively new forum and it'l take a little time for word to get round. on a brighter note your gonna be the first people i ring come my renewal in june. im sure me and a few others are gonna try and bump up the membership hopefully that'l see you having more calls
regards phill

Well, I would ring you but unfortunately insurance companies like to rip me off because I have a M postcode...and I live in one of the few parts that ain't filled with scum!

Please don't forget to ring us for a quote if your car insurance is due within the next 21 days.

You may have waited all year and now is the time!

Hi

Just to let you know I'm taking a (well-earned?!) rest over Christmas!



From today, I am only in on 23/12 but then off till 4/1/10 so won't be able to answer insurance-related questions on here till then.

Have a good Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

Hi
As with most people, we have been affected by the snow but most of our staff are in now though it took some time. We are due more snow in our location in the next few days but as half our staff are fairly local anyway, this shouldn't be a problem.
I'll let you know however if there are any significant changes re staffing!
UPDATE - JUST BEEN TOLD WE ARE SHUTTING AT 3.30PM TODAY - WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY!

Hi
Please don't forget to ring us if your insurance is due in February - 0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961.
Things are back to normal here after the snow! Sorry for any disruption though we are moving to a town in March where half the staff live anyway so we shouldn't encounter the difficulties we had getting into here earlier this month!

Thanks to all who have rung us for a quote.

We have just calculated the figures for 2009 and they show that the average recorded saving we made for our new customers last year was 12.5% off their BEST quote so it's certainly worth a call!

We consistently average over 80% renewal retention as well (December was 84%!) so people are happy at renewal as well!

0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 until 1/3/10 then 01424 200477.
