MHutch:

That is very likely correct info if they were seeking a "resident" license, however not correct if seeking "non-resident" license.

Re: New Broker; Business out of State

Kevinraz: Most of that no longer applies. Example: Cont Ed, for most non-res states it is not required. Bonds, some states still require of non-res but most do not. Much of these requirements have been standardized over the last several years, states are recognizing reciprocity these days. One that ...

Texas does not subscribe to Sircon, But does utilize NIPR (National Insurance Producer Registry).

Re: Health care risk management co.

I am with Scott on this one. Recently had this conversation with someone. Lets say that you are a consultant and the project you are working on has ability to save your client tens of thousands of dollars over the next two years. Does the fact that you can provide the solution in a certain number of...

Re: Paparazzi!

Very seriously doubt you will find a true BOP on this type of account. I would look at the typical entertainment markets/carriers. I am not personally familiar with them, but you can find them via market search or other posts. As for the equipment. Theft/loss of any one piece should be under a reaso...

Re: The Initial Prospect Meeting

There you go again Scott...giving away the secrets of those who are truly successful in this biz to those who just want to make a fast buck! :mrgreen:

Great advice for those who want to be a true insurance professional and not just a salesperson.

Re: Stand Alone Terrorism Coverage

Perhaps, and this is a stretch at best, perhaps your client was responsible for the manufactured, installation, service, repair or monitoring of a security system. And perhaps that system was installed at a location that might be attractive to terrorism. And perhaps that location was indeed struck a...

Re: WC for Companies with 0 Employees

Don't forget to cover you E&O by offering them some type of accident and disability product to effectively "replace" the WC. Just in case they suffer some type of injury that prevents them from working.

Re: Agency Management System for a Commercial Agency

there are several long and detailed threads on this subject. Search for them and you will find some other options depending on what you are after. I find it amusing that you say 360 is outdated, since it is one of the top systems in the industry...and is constantly updated. Yes it and any other syst...

Re: Captive or Direct Writers

Are you seeing the same agent on those accounts? Are they using the same premium basis as your market (not talking about the values, but basis- employees, payroll or receipts)? As I recall the typical prem basis for garage is number of employees. Are they large carrier/program that might be buying u...
