CyberRisk e-Business
 In today's data-driven world, organizations of all sizes are at risk for a cyber attack or data breach. It may not be a question of if your organization will suffer a breach, but when. Just one stolen laptop, one resourceful hacker, one virus or even one lost paper record of customer data or your company's financial records can create enormous financial and reputational consequences for your business.

NEW April Lightning Learning
Big "I" Virtual University
|
|
Date: Wednesday, April 11
Time: 1:00 - 1:30pm EST
Cost: $49 (includes live presentation, recording and written transcript)
Summary:
Crime cases of embezzlement in community associations are undeniable and range in boldness and severity. Consider a true-tale of long-time Board of Director's member that decided to fund his gambling habit with subdivision assessments. Or a condo manager that transferred condo money into a fake maintenance company (herself). Attend the Condo Cases of Crime and D&O Defects webinar to learn how to build better fidelity and D&O policies for community associations, the type of claims covered under a broad policy and what you can do to protect your condo clients by building a better fidelity policy.
If you are looking for quick strikes of information check out the VU's 20-minute Lightning Learning series set to focus on good business and goal setting for the month of April. Please send any questions to VU staff.

Date: Wednesday, April 12, 16, 24
Time: 1:00 - 1:30 p.m. EST
Cost: $9.99 for all three sessions
Summary:
The Big "I" Virtual University's April Lightning Learning series features three 20-minute sessions dedicated to business, selling and goals. Even if you can't participate in the live sessions, you will receive a link to the on-demand recordings and can listen at your leisure. Register once to attend the following:
-
April 12 - Is All Business Good Business?
I'll save you the suspense - NO! Not all business is good business and not all opportunities are good opportunities. There are specific signs to indicate when you should just walk away. That's what we discuss in this session - when to know you need to walk away.
-
April 16 - How Much "Effective" Selling Time do You Actually Have?
"Available" selling time is not the same as "effective" selling time. "Effective" selling time is a function of closing ratios. (You do know your closing ratio, don't you?)
-
April 24 - How Much New Business Do You Have to Add to Make Goal?
I believe the answer to this question is going to surprise you. For an agency or even a producer to accomplish a new business goal several factors must be considered: 1) retention ratio; 2) "intrinsic" book changes; 3) closing ratio; and 4) average income.
When looking for quick strikes of information on focused topics the VU's monthly Lightning Learning series is there to help. The next extended webinar will focus on ISO Personal Auto Changes and includes a 'seat' to attend live, a link to the on-demand recording, and a written transcript. Consider presenting conference style for the entire agency to benefit. Please send any questions to VU staff.
