By these stats we can really see the direction our world is moving on the digital front, all this progress is generating huge revenue and making our lives faster, more efficient and instant gratification is what we expect.

But what does this mean for us as individuals and business owners who rely on business insurance solutions or manage properties requiring sectional title insurance? Technology helps—but personal service still matters.

These figures show a shift that even industries like insurance must respond to—prompting companies like SBS, Specialised Broker Services to adopt digital strategies while still offering personalised service for business insurance solutions and sectional title insurance.

Balance is key, we need to keep up with technology but at the same time we cannot leave humanity behind, it is important for us to keep up and stay connected and progress with new technology, but as business owners, service providers, and individuals, we cannot lose our human touch, our face-to-face connections our personal interaction and non-automated responses.

Life is all about balance and vision.

Here at SBS, Specialised Broker Services, we believe in embracing progress and technology—but we never compromise on the personal touch. Whether it’s sectional title insurance or our broader business insurance solutions, you’ll always have a hands-on broker by your side.

At the end of the day people to business with people, not Apps.
