Re: Towing Service

Maybe try NSD (Nation Safe Drivers). They are similar to an AAA roadside product, but not sure if they'd do a commercial use pick-up truck. Their website is http://www.nsdmc.com/nsd_ogk/products/roadside-assistance.asp, and their contact info is at the bottom, so you can reach out to them if you'd l...

Re: Big Independent Group

Happy New Year "insurancechange", Thanks for bringing to my attention that I hadn't filled out some of my profile info. I didn't realize that before, so just updated it now. You may not have noticed from my earlier post on October 8, but I did write that I work for Arrowhead General Insura...

Re: Big Independent Group

Not likely the same person. Just multiple people who have the same positive opinion of The BIG. Regarding The BIG... To be clear, I'm not a BIG member agent myself, but I've been to some of their functions as an exhibitor and from what I've seen they do a great job. I wasn't at the San Jose Mini-Ven...

Re: Best Ways to Market a Niche Program to Brokers

Maybe a better approach to marketing your niche product would be to partner with some of the agent/broker associations to be their “Specialist” or “Preferred Provider” for E-Cigarette/Vape Shop risks. It would most likely require some sort of sponsorship on your part. The association(s) could then p...

Re: Big Independent Group

To my understanding, the BIG has been trying to get a larger footprint in NorCal for a couple years now. Putting together a full sized tradeshow for the NorCal area when they don't yet have a large number of member agencies in the area just isn't feasible. Realistically they have to start small in N...

Re: Declination Statement - Earthquake Coverage

Great info p&csme! This is exactly the type of input I was hoping for! I should have items 1 & 2 wrapped up. I know I didn’t share a copy of how the print-out of the proposal sheet will look, but I’ll have clear descriptions of the limits and deductibles detailed out by option, and the premi...

Re: Declination Statement - Earthquake Coverage

Thanks for the reply McCluney, and you are absolutely correct. Any project like this where we’ll be putting out a document for our producers to use does have to go through our compliance division and it has to get approved by our legal counsel before we can make it available. The purpose of me posti...

Declination Statement - Earthquake Coverage

Looking for opinions on the best way to phrase a Declination Statement when offering earthquake coverage and the client declines the option/coverage. To give a little back-ground as to how this will be used... I specialize in stand-alone residential earthquake insurance on the Company/MGA side. Our ...

Re: Carrier Login credentials & agency staff

I wholeheartedly agree with Brenda H. Especially the “control over what an employee can "take" with them when they leave” part. I’ve done Tech Support for Arrowhead General Insurance and I used to cringe whenever a new agency appointment needed help setting up their agency access and would...
