We have a benefit insurance partner in Texas that challenges all bills for their clients. On average they reduce billing by 50%. I believe in 2021 the number total savings was $2mm from a total of $4mm. You have every right to challenge billing but most people don’t as they view

Anywhere on 30A in Florida and it’s not even close:
Seaside
Water Color
Rosemary Beach
Water Sound
White sand beaches, crystal clear gulf waters
Golf Cart & Bicycle communities in TND style neighborhoods.
@seandsweeney
A lot of faves in the area:
George’s (Alys)
The Citizen (Alys)
Fonville Press & Market (Alys)
Bud & Alley’s (Seaside)
Great Southern (Seaside)
Surfing Deer (Seagrove)
Cafe Thirty-A (Seagrove)
La Crema (Rosemary)
Old Florida Fish House

I’m dining at Citizens in Alys Beach as I type this…like I said a while ago 30A is remarkable. You will love the design, architecture and planning that went into these communities.

Prediction: Whatever PGA Tour player was offered by LIV will be paid same amount thru the ‘merger’. The moneys there and it wipes away most serious grievances from pga tour.
A lot of ‘sales guys’ out there stoking fear about the insurance market. Just remember there is a ton of nuance to your insurance program and when markets get ‘hard’, pricing only comes down when things are being sacrificed in your form, deductibles and/or coverages. If you work
@MattWalshBlog
Same, though I would add I also believe in taking care of our environment and limiting the byproducts of our consumerism where it’s a detriment to land, air and water.
@SMB_Attorney
I appreciate your perspective on this and think it also applies to Big Tax, Big Insurance & Big Finance. And are we getting any better advice/service or are we just spending more collectively as a direct result of their greed and opportunism?
Insurance Twitter Friends:
Thinking of launching a personal lines division for our agency.
Have the markets, rater, service team and all 50 states.
I don’t have the ‘producer’ and I’m also not sure what a successful PL producer looks like or how to align appropriate
Just a reminder to collect the down payment for anything you’re binding and to document the bind orders and premium finance agreements. Had client try to walk from a binding with a significant MEP…our diligence saved us from a $120k loss or at minimum a lawsuit trying to recoup
Nice to sit down with an owner who values relationships and insurance expertise.
This prospect spends over $600k a year and has been neglected/overlooked by the ‘Big Agency’ for years.
Bullish on Indy’s out there bringing back the importance of a local agent and expertise!
@NdamukongSuh
Where do they live or are they homeless? What is their income? What are their lifestyle choices? Are they married? You can make statistics work for whatever your narrative but it doesn’t make it true.
Added a new producer on Monday. A former middle market underwriter, marketing representative & then agency producer.
I love finding carrier side/technical experience people with high sales IQ.
This was a big win for us and took close to 6 months to finalize.
I didn’t start
Competitor just told my client if the incumbent carrier comes in with anything greater than 1% increase they’re getting screwed and he should take a look at it.
It’s no wonder people hate insurance with Producers like this sowing distrust, fear & confusion with a completely BS

It seems to me, the adderall family of drugs was yet another attempt by big pharma to create a legal version of common street drugs then perpetuate a myth/need basis called ADHD. Is there really such thing as truly medically quantifiable condition of ADHD?
Cold Calling + Networking = Magic
It did for me at least. I spent most of my efforts calling on contractors so naturally I joined a few associations related to construction, real estate & development.
I’d use the association events to approach the people I was cold calling and
Think a website to post insurance rates on would be of value? Thinking carrier, class code, line of biz, state, date and rate. Aggregate the data for consumers and brokers to access.
Travelers just announced a new construction group captive offering. We'll learn more about it in a webinar this week.
At first glance, this appears to be a smart move. As markets tighten, the best risks will look more closely at captive options. This could be a great hedge for

I think our collective joy is more based upon the fact that he’s the first openly liberal media figure to follow the truth and change his opinion. It’s possible he’s swaying others to do the same.
We were told nothing would change when the Mega P/E firm bought our current broker’s book.
Other than ur agent sailing off into earn out retirement and a service team that has no idea who you are…you’re right…nothing has changed.
Signed BOR and another win for the Indy’s.

You don’t ‘loan’ someone $5k without the understanding that you’ll likely never see it again. If it was that important to be paid back, you’d draft a contract.

Unless you can get a city government to buy in on the idea and they are willing to use every tool possible to make it happen. Mayor Brainard and Carmel, IN are a shining example of this. He’d be an amazing podcast guest!
Finishing up a great seminar with Captive Resources. A few takeaways:
Property Insurance Captives aren’t viable or worth your time in spite of what anonymous insurance guys might tweet
Be extremely skeptical of anyone slinging 831b’s
You can get in to captive at a much lower
A prospect once told me that it wasn’t wise for him to have all his business entities insured through the same broker. He had a mixed use development project, vacant land, jewelry mfr and rock quarry. I told him, “The quickest way to kill a dog is to assign two people to feed

@fortworthchris
Kansas City heavily incentivized office to resi conversions in the early 2000’s and it took off. Completely revitalized and reinvigorated our downtown.
Basic blocking & tackling.
Most of the frustrations insureds are facing are due to lack of stewardship and communication.
The truth is most P/E and Mega Agencies aren’t built to steward, advise and communicate pro-actively. Sell, sell, sell…tools & resources…blah, blah,

The product is watered down. I had to force myself to watch the Farmers Open. Not fun to watch as a fan, other than the majors right now.
@sweatystartup
This is the bi-product of our country’s overregulation, tax laws, employment law, HR, insurance, entitlement culture and perpetual inflation. We are reaping what we’ve sowed as a country and forcing the hand of SMB’s.

I’d love to see more of this type thinking. From a city development perspective developers delivering us national chain QSR’s bc it pencils better and they can sell it easier, I wonder what we’re doing to our city’s long term future. Your philosophy encourages entrepreneurship

Unpopular opinion and I want you to know that I admire and respect what you’re doing immensely but these awards are meaningless and in most cases more tied to politics and bureaucracy. You, your firm and what you’re doing to combat ‘Big Law’ is the antithesis to ‘40 under 40’.
@SMB_Attorney
If it’s anything like PE in the insurance world…it definitely won’t make things ‘better’. But that also depends on your definition of better. BIG Insurance is very similar to BIG Law. IMO, PE stifles innovation/change and only reinforces the current ‘boiler room behaviors’.

@eric_a_bruns
If you’re collecting premium on behalf of the insureds to pay the carriers you’re putting all of those funds into a premium trust account. You only recognize the revenue when you transfer the commissions to your operating account.

People’s relationship with insurance changes dramatically when they’ve suffered a catastrophic loss. We’d all be better served to view insurance as a catastrophic event product and only use as such. Social inflation would decline and rates would improve. This is the way…
