Insurance Team Options

There are 2 ways an individual can purchase their insurance. They can go to a direct writer or reach out to an independent insurance agent. A direct writer sells policies for only one insurance company, opposed to independent agents who work with a variety of insurance companies. Examples of direct writers include GEICO, Progressive, State Farm and All State. These carriers do a great job marketing themselves, but their DIY-model can often leave their client hanging. While their ads may be entertaining, and who doesn’t get a chuckle

“How important is communication in…”

Typing the above into a Google search, and reviewing every example could cure anyone’s insomnia. Living in an organized society and having all worked on at least one group project this should not come as a surprise to anyone.  You would be hard-pressed to find an example of everyday life where communication is not important.  We have all experienced incidents where a single detail is overlooked or miscommunicated, starting a snowball effect to greater inconvenience, frustration, or an actual crisis.

Effective communication keeps our relationships, careers, businesses

As I navigate cautiously through the first month of 2021, testing that my footing is secure and that the path ahead is still the right way forward, I’m reminded of some of the lessons I’ve learned from the many businesses I work with over the past twelve months. Lessons about creativity. Lessons about strength in teamwork. Lessons about flexibility and determination.

Luckily, the team I work with hit the ground running. You know the story – our coworkers are now our kids, we are now teachers, and meal preppers, along with

It’s time for us to debunk four more common auro insurance myths and find out what grains of truth they may stem from. Knowledge is power and understanding correctly how carriers determine your car insurance premium can give you important insight to make the right car or insurance purchase.

I’ve met so many great people attending industry conferences, conventions, and seminars. A great variety of people all passionate about the business they do and the opportunities that come with it. Of all of the conversations I’ve had I spend the majority of my time learning about their businesses. How did you start? What are your plans? Where do you plan to go with this? Are you having fun? What have you learned? I happen to be curious by nature – so I love engaging in these conversations. They tend

Having an upbeat positive work environment can save you money on your insurance. You may be asking yourself “what does insurance have to do with the moral of my company?” The answer is A LOT.

Often times when I walk into the office of a new prospect I can get a pretty good idea of what their claims history is going to be. Are the people upbeat and smiling or do they look like it’s the last place on earth they want to be? Office culture has a lot to do

Some people think that a Homeowner’s insurance policy is just to protect one’s home and personal belongings.  Believe me; it is so much more than that.   Homeowner’s insurance also provides Liability Coverage.  This means that if you are found to be negligent in your actions or inaction, your Homeowner’s insurance would respond to this type of loss.   Believe it or not this coverage will follow you where ever you go in this world.  That’s why we call it “worldwide coverage.”

Let’s say for example you are vacationing on Cape Cod and

The battle lines have been officially drawn.  The war has ensued between direct insurance writers and Insurance Agents and the proverbial Paul Revere has long taken his proverbial ride announcing “the direct writers are coming!”  While the direct writers primarily focus on price, the independent insurance agents are able to bring far more to the table.  Working for one of the best Independent Agents in Southeastern Massachusetts, here are what I consider to be “The Distinguishing 5” benefits of working with an Independent Agent.

Claims Advocacy – The single reason you

Regardless of whether or not you are a @WalkingDead_AMC (TWD) fan, at the water cooler this morning you will undoubtedly hear something about what is being eulogized as the most shocking, graphic episode ever.  Even with the cliffhanger set up from last season, many viewers (and certainly our favorite cast of characters) found themselves caught off guard by the outcome and were left reeling by the new reality on the show.  The show consistently delivers strife for its characters and gore for its audience, so even at its most intense
