... Bank-Insurance Working?4/30/2013 by CompleteMarkets Editor , James Campbell This content has not been rated yet. Believe it or not, the current era of bank-insurance is seven years old. In March of 1996 the Supreme Court decision in Barnett Bank of Marion County, N.A. v. Nelson triggered a flurry of activity and debate as banks began to seek their place on the insurance distribution landscape. Find out what has happened since then in this article by James Campbell. Let's begin with what hasn't happened. Banks have not, as some predicted, seized control of the insurance distribution business, driving traditional agents and brokers to the verge of obsolescence. Nor have they lost their appetite for the business, as others expected. The truth, according to the American Bankers Insurance Association ( ... Burke LIG Marine Managers USG Insurance Services, Inc.

When the nation's legislative landscape was dominated by health care reform and relatively stable Workers Compensation rates in 2010, Workers Compensation fell off the radar screen. However, a more careful review points to challenging times. Here are 11 issues that bear watching. 1. Declines in Frequency of Claims Slowing. According to insurers, the long-term trend of declining claims frequency (claims filed per employer payroll) is flattening. This is ... to create timely communications that focus on trust, job security and entitlement to medical care and income benefits. Communicate in a clear and timely fashion about the status of the claim to prevent misunderstandings so the worker does not mistakenly conclude that the claim has been denied. Eliminate system features that encourage denials or payment delays to help prevent worker's misconstruing a delay as a denial. 7. Misclassification of Independent Contractors: A Hot Issue. Both federal and state agencies stepped up their oversight of the classification of independent contractors in 2010. In addition, the number of worker class-action lawsuits against employers relating to independent contractors rose 50% in the same year to a record 300 according to Garry Mathiason, vice chairman of labor law firm Littler Mendelson.

He had spent more than $30,000 for the car and the dealer had diminished the importance of the sale by giving him a 19-cent key ring. On the other hand, an aggressive insurance broker offered custom T-shirts at a landscape contractor trade show for completing a brief information form. The shirts went like hotcakes because the company had invested time, effort, and money into creating a shirt with attractive, colorful artwork with an appropriate, creative message: We dig landscaping. Every contractor wanted a shirt. It could be worn any time, anywhere, because it told the contractor's story, and, by implication, it sent ... landscapers a message about the insurance agency. At a very small show, these insurance people wrote five new accounts and received an additional 26 qualified leads. Each shirt cost about $10. Was it worth the money? No question. The insurance agency already has signed up for the next landscapers trade show! By making the promotional product fit what you want to accomplish, you actually build business. By the way, the auto dealer could have accomplished the goal of impressing the customer by using a leather key holder imprinted with the customer's name and placing it in a presentation case. 2. Build your promotion around a theme. More often than not, it isn't the promotional product itself that turns out to be the problem. It's the way it's used that renders the item ineffective. ...
