... costs. Properly operated, employee leasing can provide workers (at a fixed fee per time period or project) for generally longer periods than temporary help agencies. Employee leasing can be useful for projects that require a number of specialists who will not be needed after the project's end. One usual advantage of leased employees is that the cost of getting the job done through an outsource is less expensive than using common-law employees. A danger, however, occurs if the company providing the leased employees does not meet the tax or Workers' Comp obligations under the law. In this case, an employer utilizing leased employees may be liable for their taxes and benefits (including obligations under the Family Leave Act) . A recent IRS ruling exemplifies this confusion on the part of employers. Nurses supplied to a hospital by an outside firm were found to be working full-time on a schedule set by the hospital, were paid hourly by the hospital, and had no investment in their own equipment. The hospital required their attendance at an orientation before starting their job and could fire them. Of course, the ruling declared them to be hospital employees. The IRS said the hospital exercised enough control over the nurses to make them ineligible for the status of independent contractors or leased employees. TECHNICAL SERVICE SPECIALISTS This class includes computer specialists, engineers, and others acting through another company or on their own. Each of these types of employees is classified independently by the IRS under a special relief provision.

... marketing strategy targets the appropriate company. Although there are some 2,000 P/C carriers nationwide, there are significant differences among them. Licensed companies, non-admitted companies, regional companies, mutuals, stocks, and owner-operators all present opportunities to obtain an appropriate agency-company relationship. Company market knowledge is crucial. Knowing about P/C company purchases benefits a consultant, as does having relationships with top management at the companies. Treaty reinsurance brokers usually aren't good specialty insurance program consultants. Unfortunately, very few consultants have the technical knowledge to market programs. Once the program moves to company technicians, the consultant must negotiate with the underwriters and have the educational qualifications to answer their questions to complete the program with a good market. CASE STUDY Let's consider the placement of a general agency agreement for a hospital malpractice program requiring a $25 million occurrence limit. The first concern is to determine how many companies have the net worth to issue a $25 million gross policy limit before treaty or facultative reinsurance. Understanding this basic marketing strategy could save weeks of market research. Suppose the general agency has already built a favorable relationship with a direct writing reinsurance market. This limits the consultant because the direct writer has determined the terms and conditions of the reinsurance and controls the type of company security required. This could hamper the consultant with excessively stringent reinsurance terms. An effective consultant should have access to markets that use reinsurance intermediaries as their exclusive source of production. The agent is better protected when no one company dominates the reinsurance market. With the continuing vertical integration in the reinsurance business, suppose that ...

... will boost their bottom line by reducing risk. Sales Tip #8 : Strengthen relationship selling I've had my Personal Lines account with the same agency for 29 years. They don't offer the best products and I can get far better prices elsewhere. It's our relationship that keeps me doing business with them. My mother worked for this agency for a number of years until she became terminally ill and passed away more than two decades ago. During her final year, she was only able to work for a few weeks. At best, one could expect a decent insurance package to provide 60% pay under a salary continuance or LTD program. However, the agency owner continued to issue her full paycheck every two weeks whether she was able to work or not. When the call came from the hospital that she had only hours to live, I raced there at 2:00 a.m., just before she passed away. At 3:00 a.m., the agency owner and his wife showed up at the hospital to offer any help they could. I've never forgotten what they did for my family and, for that reason, I've never considered moving my account to save a few bucks. Relationships build loyalty. Strong relationships based on genuine interest, empathy, and compassion create fierce, almost fanatical, loyalty. If you treat your customers like family and go beyond the call of duty when needed, no coverage perks or pricing discounts can approach the effectiveness of such relationships. Sales Tip #9 : Use testimonials Include testimonials of long-term clients in your marketing materials. Every time ...
