Hi All, I'm in some uncharted territory, preparing to sell homeowners insurance in southern and coastal states. Our agency has yet to quote or issue any home policies down south, which is why I'm reaching out on here to see if anyone has any helpful tips or advice for me. The specific question has to do with building code grades, or the "Building Code Effectiveness Grading Schedule" (BCEGS) as it relates to writing homeowners policies. Now that we will be selling in states like Florida, where there are greater exposures to things like hurricanes, the Building Code Grade will likely be a rating factor. Does anyone on here has experience with issuing homeowners policies where these building codes were at play? Is there a specific type of document (home appraisal? other form?) that is used to verify the building code? What documentation/proof the insurance companies require? Basically any information at all about the BCEGS would be appreciated. I want to make sure we are fully prepared for this new factor when quoting and issuing homeowners business in new territory. + Multi Quote Top PS - in case this information is at all helpful... our agency uses a comparative rater, and there is a field that asks for the Building Code Grade. The options are "Ungraded" (which we have always used, here in the Northeast), or 1, 2, 3... up to 10. Thanks again everyone!

I have a prospect that I have done numerous 1 day event policies in the past. They have access to a facility to hold events and fundraisers. The food will be provided by food trucks. They will also need building coverage as that is part of the agreement. Does anyone have advice for a standard market to cover this risk and what might the class be? I know it might be similar to a restaurant, but there is not the cooking exposure.

Social Media Marketing you say? In the Insurance Industry you say? We say, "HECK YES!" Creating and maintaining an active and effective social media presence is hard work. There are countless hours that you slave over your computer, AFTER your agency has closed its doors and turned on the batphone for late night claims. In those same 10 hours you put into stumbling around Facebook, and maybe LinkedIn, filling out the bare minimum profile requirements, Transformer Marketing can do that and more. We are the experts of social media marketing, and we pride ourselves on knowing everything Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter has to offer. There are different aspects to each social platform. With Facebook and LinkedIn, once you create your personal profiles, you can build a company page to interact with and gain followers or people that "Like" your business. These are people that may or may not be connected to your personal profile in any way, which is a good thing! Having a company page is like having a goldmine when it comes to building a brand. The more people that connect to your company page, the more reputation you gain, the more your brand sticks out in a prospects mind when they need that great Insurance Professional. For Twitter, hash tags (#) are all the rave. Do you have a very specific target audience you are trying to reach? How about #Retirement or, #Auto possibly, #WorkersComp? You know how only 10% of the iceberg is above the water? The same goes for Twitter, most people do not realize what a full blown Twitter assault can do for their company.
