Long term thinking is a competitive advantage. I had lunch with a friend yesterday, he is 75. Built a really big regional insurance business. His secret? Long term thinking. Other brokerages wouldn't take on young clients. Premiums weren't big enough. He had a different view. "I was thinking about 40 years, not 4. All of those people that I took on as clients when they were 28 grew up. They owned businesses. They became executives. They remembered that we had taken great care of them when they didn't have anything. So, of course they trusted us to take care of them now that they had quite a lot." In a world where everyone is trying to figure out how to 'hack' their way to success, long term thinking is a competitive advantage.

So what if you could change the way an insurance company views your business? We are in a tough market place right now and the traditional bid it to win it model just doesn't work well. So you are probably wondering what does work well? Well let me explain the traditional model first. The underwriter gets a submission with a very minimal description of your business. Along with that is loss runs of 3 to 5 years worth. So the underwriter is only looking at your past claims! What about the future and what you are investing in for safety, buildings, machinery and so on. Well most the time the underwriter is unaware of that because of the traditional model. Now here is where we make the difference. At Vizance we take the time to get to know you and your business and present the future of your business to the underwriter along with the past and what has been done to fix those issues. Pretty simple process of looking forward why are competition is only looking backwards. We are a true partnership helping you control your cost along with helping your business grow on a day to day basis. Lets sit down and talk sometime soon so you can learn more about the Vizance difference!

I heard some absolute GOLD yesterday at the IIAG Young Agent Conference: These young agents had some real wisdom… 📕Read Principles by Ray Dalio 📕Read 12 week year by Brian Moran 🦢Call on the Goose not the Egg - Agents should prospect referral sources such as financial planners (Private Client) , realtors, loan officers, exotic car dealerships, or others that can feed your desired client. ⁉️Ask yourself: what would it look like if I earned x amount of money. Reflect on it. What tactics will get you there? 📝Clients still like hand written notes. This makes you stand out in a crowd of other agents. 💥Best line: “I want to talk to you about your insurance, but I don’t want to quote it.” Do a real consultative review and they will likely ask you for a quote.
