A hypothetical loss situation in a manufacturing facility could entail these conditions: a boiler explosion with an ensuing fire, injury to both employees and third party guests; fire damage occurring in the immediate exterior perimeter as well as structural collapse affecting self-insured fleet vehicles. In analyzing a major crisis situation such as natural hazards, it is important to extend the impact on finances to assess the effects of major losses against either self-insured or experience rated ...

SECTION 4.0 CRISIS EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT 4.1 Crisis Assessment Overview Frequently, the risk management planning and formulation process is myopic in defining the magnitude of probable maximum loss exposures. A significant task in crisis management plan strategy formulation is broadly to identify and measure the various potential crises and loss exposures. The crisis and loss exposure assessment must remain broad in nature and not become inhibited by the traditionally narrow considerations of only those perils addressed by standard commercial insurance policies. There are three primary categories to consider in ...

... world-and a richer world at that." The extent of the Internet's impact on life and business can be measured by Merrill Lynch's willingness to place at risk its sales force of 14,800 stockbrokers as the company heads straight into the E-economy. When all of Merrill Lynch's explanations and assurances of protecting its brokers are stripped away, it's clear that the company sees its future on the Net. Auto manufacturers are right there, too. The move to cut costs by cutting out dealers is clear, and it's driven by the possibilities created by the Internet. Whether it's real estate sales or travel agencies, these functions will soon be Net-based.

Someone looking for a digital camera would never expect to find all available models in one store, let alone evaluation reports on each one. Even if it were possible to have them all on display, the selection process would be long, arduous, and probably less than satisfying. In the final analysis, the salesperson might well cast the deciding vote, just to end the frustration. The same is true for cars, colleges, computers, and just about anything else. But because of the Internet, we've come to expect a broad range of choices. In fact, we demand it and feel shortchanged ...

Principle #6 requires carriers to maintain a system of supervision and review that is reasonably designed to achieve compliance with these Principles of Ethical Market Conduct. This principle seems to speak for itself. Without it, there can be no assurance that all the effort that went into establishing procedures will benefit anyone — except for the paper manufacturers. ISSUES FOR AGENTS/BROKERS One intriguing example of our need to become aware of IMSA is the potential conflict faced by any agent appointed by more than one company. Indeed, the typical Society member probably needs a dozen or more appointments in order to offer a complete and competitive inventory of policies for various client needs.

The assembly line evolved as the only way to build a $500 car. A change in pricing is creating a revolution. We've been operating under the old process of cost-based pricing, in which manufacturers and distributors add up all of their costs, add a profit to the total-and arrive at their price. In reality, a limited number of providers offered products to a mass market, and they could charge what they wanted. Now we're moving from cost-based pricing to price-driven costing. By establishing a price, the marketplace will dictate the qualityof the product. Technology, a more sophisticated consumer, ... the sales manager asked her about the call, she answered, I had the best product and the best price-I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

In any case, it is critical to build and maintain relationships within the account with a number of key personnel. The following case study clearly exemplifies why contact is paramount: An agent who had a particularly sensitive account with a forklift manufacturer made sure to visit the factory every Monday morning to provide loss-control services as well as to maintain customer contact. This agent wrote the account for 15 years, until she retired. During that time, she built a significant income from that one customer. Practice pro-active account management for your clients.

INDIVIDUAL PLANNING AND GOAL-SETTING MAKE CREDIBILITY, PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT PAY by Allen Karlin, Ph.D. Planning to succeed is a continuous process. It's not something done once for the next six months-it's a daily, weekly, and monthly activity. Once a producer has learned how to plan, it becomes easier, takes less time, and pays. Planning also augments individual credibility and buyer motivation, topics discussed in previous issues. There are two fundamental steps to initiate a continuous planning process that moves success from the realm of chance to reality. First, a successful producer has to develop goals and related actions to achieve those ...
