Why do you do what you do?

Why do you do what you do?  That is a good question that doesn’t get asked very often. Why are we in the insurance business?  Is it for the money?  Is it for something to do?  Why would you pick the insurance industry?  Sure, it’s nice to get a paycheck, but even more satisfying is helping someone in their time of need.  Making sure that things go right through the process.  Making sure the economic loss you can’t afford to lose was transferred to someone else.  Making sure the economic loss you do suffer is at a minimum.  Any insurance agent can sell you a policy for a premium.  If you are happy with that, that’s okay, as long as you know the risks.  We would rather explain how to transfer your risk, give you options, and let you make the decision.  There is no insurance policy that will provide absolute coverage of your assets.  We want to make sure that you are happy with your part of the risk.

Want to win a $10 gas card?

Want to win a $10 gas card?  There are two ways you can win.  If you are a current customer, refer a friend for a quote.  Have your friend tell us you referred them and you win a $10 gas card.  It is as simple as that.  In conjunction with Red, White, and Boom, we are offering a $10 gas card to anyone not currently insured with us if we quote their auto and home insurance and are unable to provide lower auto and home account premium.  (See rules and regulations on our Facebook page.)   This is a win-win for both you and your friend!

Most of us have a routine...

Most of us have a routine when we get to work.  Get a cup of coffee (or tea, or water).  That’s the first thing on the list.  Greet your co-workers, start your computer, check your phone for emails, and get started on your day.  My routine goes like this: I bring my coffee, so I don’t have to get any, start my computer; sort my mail; organize my desk;  retrieve the download from the companies; match the policy numbers to the customer that the system couldn’t find; print the download email; export, sort, and print the unbilled policy lists; distribute the unbilled policy lists; check my suspense; check the Alerts for any policies that need attention; read the emails for three email addresses; sort and distribute the emails; record the payments to the companies; record the payments to our office; and finally, I can start my day.  Whew!  Oh, yeah, I forgot, I need to retrieve the morning faxes from the web site and check our Facebook account……Hmmm…..what else am I forgetting? 

When you get into a routine and that routine gets interrupted, do you have a hard time getting back into your work mode?  It is not easy.  When someone changes your routine, do you have a hard time with it?  Change is not always easy.  You make think it is more work, when actually, most of the time; it is just a reorganization of what you do in a more efficient way.  Change.  Try it, you might like it.  Keep an open mind as things are always changing around you.
