... . If we could drop our emotional reaction for a few minutes and review this cloning issue rationally, we'd probably come to the conclusion that there is no one person that the marketplace might want to duplicate exactly. With all due respect to Mother Theresa, Billy Graham, Michael Jordan, Elvis, etc., we'd surely be better served by taking only the best traits of these great people than recreating exact duplicates. The Barnett decision recently ended or at least quieted another great debate-the future of banks and insurance. The new reality is that banks will sell insurance products just as insurance companies now sell bank products. Rather than spend additional time debating the rights and wrongs of an issue that has been decided, let's determine the best way to move into the new reality. The first reaction to ... decision has been a furor of activity-a rush to clone an agency inside a bank. The reality is this: Traditional banks and traditional agents are both endangered species. Mating or cloning them will not create a healthy hybrid. Our best hope for success is our ability to genetically engineer-capture the best traits of-both systems before we mate them. This will greatly enhance our results. Banks provide structure, facilities, and systems. This is good but not the most important asset of a bank. Banks have trust and traffic-they possess credible relationships with large numbers of people. Agents need people and businesses to sell to. Agents bring their knowledge of people and their needs. They possess a commitment to action-an ability to make things happen. Their independence, their willingness and ability to survive and prosper despite all ...

... process is simple. Upon writing a new account, the producer and CSR determine the number of times an account should be contacted throughout the coming year. The timing and frequency of service calls are determined by the size and type of account along with the personality of the decision-maker(s ) . For example, when an account is written with a seasonal operation (an ice cream shop or outdoor recreation facility), plan to talk to the insureds just before and shortly following their busiest season. A dry cleaner may want to talk with you after the winter has ended, the CPA after April 15th, and so on. Then, suspense dates are entered into the follow-up system or recorded in the renewal control (expiration) list. Some accounts will require monthly calls or visits, while ... will be pleasantly accommodated with semi-annual checkups. Each month, when the renewal control list is printed, the service contact list should also be produced. Together, CSRs and producers should discuss the accounts and determine who can be most effective with a service call or visit. Larger accounts require and deserve a visit from the producer and CSR. To keep it all under control, the CSR should confer with producers once a month to choose one or two days in the coming month when both can go on service calls. Of course, the dates must be verified with clients. Then a full day's schedule allowing about an hour and a half between appointments can be established. Once or twice a month, the producer and CSR should spend almost an entire day visiting clients. During the visit, ...

... restrict the underwriter's ability to compete for many classes of business. For the most part, a program offers multiple-line coverages to their prospective clients. Exceptions include Professional Liability, Pollution Liability, Errors & Omissions, Directors & Officers, and Products Liability policies. PAs have even progressed to the point of employing loss-control representatives who have the expertise to specialize in the underwritten class. My firm underwrites the outdoor recreation industry, including such business as resorts, dude ranches, outfitters and guides, trap and skeet clubs, hunting and fishing lodges, hunting leases, snowmobile tours, RV parks, and campgrounds. The program offers a full compliment of package policy forms: Auto, Workers Compensation, Marine, and Umbrella Liability. The program is admitted in the United States; we have a separate division that ... in the business. In your sales strategy, make certain you understand what information the PA will require (including specialty applications) to underwrite and compete for the business properly. PAs will attend conventions and generally ask their agents to man the booths with them. Sharing association endorsements with the producer is another way to share in a marketing effort. And, unlike the wholesale or Excess & Surplus Lines facilities, PAs pay more commission to the producer. Before devoting time and energy to a program, the producer should ask the PA what his or her renewal retention has been for the past three years. A stable and profitable program will have a renewal ratio of around 90% . There are many ways of finding a PA. Most programs are listed in periodicals such as Rough Notes and the ...
