‘The Price Writer nine-step method is a clear and compelling description of what you need to get right to be great at leading a pricing team. Jeremy has written a book that is thought-provoking as well as a treasure trove of insight and ideas for both current and aspiring leaders in general insurance pricing. I will keep a copy close to hand to make sure I keep focusing on the right things and avoiding those all too common pitfalls!’ — James Hillon, Pricing Leader ‘At a business conference, I heard this wise saying, “To navigate the path, one must have a comprehensive view of the terrain.” This perfectly captures Jeremy’s successful effort to collect, organize and explain the bigger picture of insurance pricing and I am extremely happy that finally someone did that. Whether you’re embarking on your initial journey as a pricing analyst or already in a top role, this book is a perfect match for you. Throughout ten chapters you will be elevated above the details of modelling and have an insightful view of other crucial aspects of insurance pricing such as strategy, team dynamics, deployment, portfolio monitoring and more. Each chapter is enriched with authentic narratives, useful best practices, and thought-provoking exercises to contemplate your own scenarios. Enjoy your path!’ — Dawid Kopczyk, CEO of Quantee ‘Becoming a successful pricing leader takes a very different skill set to that needed to be a great pricing analyst. As an industry we have often struggled to help our analysts bridge this gap and step up to the leadership challenges we face in a changing world. In this book, Jeremy provides an original and comprehensive guide to pricing leadership for UK General Insurance. Price Writer will be a vital resource for both existing and new pricing managers alike. ‘Jeremy’s approach is much more than a theoretical guide; it’s a practical companion. Jeremy sets out clear, actionable steps and uses case studies relevant to an analyst’s journey towards leadership, with many real-world examples similar to those I have experienced many times over my own career. He interweaves these with the broader dimensions of pricing and offers holistic insights on strategy, governance and team dynamics essential for leadership in this field. ‘I will be recommending this book as key reading for my future pricing leaders, and whether you are a seasoned or new manager I hope you will enjoy and use this book.’ — Andy Cooper, Director of Pricing at esure ‘Jeremy Keating has written a unique, focused guide to pricing excellence in general insurance that provides strategic and tactical advice relevant for pricing teams globally. On almost every page, Jeremy’s depth of experience shines through as he shares hard-won lessons across data management, pricing modelling and team leadership, among other areas. I highly recommend this book for pricing analysts and leaders looking to embed best practices in their teams and executives who want to take their pricing operations to the next level.’ — Ronald Richman, Pricing Leader, Old Mutual Insure
