The Big “I” Virtual University (VU) webinar calendar will wind down with three sessions designed to help agents understand lender requests, monitor insurer stability and solvency and fine-tune time management skills.
VU webinars offer an effective way for the entire staff to participate on the education process without leaving the office.
Lenders Gone Wild
Oct. 17
2-4 p.m. ET
Demands by lenders often include guaranteed replacement cost, agreed value, ordinance and law, severability of insurance, replacement cost estimators, lender specific forms, declarations pages, certificates of insurance, Fannie Mae and more. Attend this webinar to learn the source of these requests and demands, how you should respond and what you shouldn’t do. We will examine the source of many of these demands, Fannie Mae guidelines, associated problems (including the fact that many ask an agent to commit an illegal act) and suggestions for how to respond.
Monitoring Insurer Stability and Solvency
Nov. 18
2-4 p.m. ET
From an agent’s perspective, what is the difference between an insurer’s A.M. Best rating and stability? What rating even applies if there is more than one? What difference does a rating or lack of a rating matter? These distinctions might matter little under certain circumstances. But insurance is not designed for the good times, and not all insurance companies are created financially equal. Some are better positioned for a soft market than others and those companies inherently create some level of competitive advantage over their peers. Would you benefit from knowing which carriers have this advantage? Attend this webinar to find out.
Time Management for the Insurance Professional – The 7 Maxims of Time Management
Dec. 10
2-3 p.m. ET
From the agency’s standpoint, improving productivity by 20% can triple before-tax profits, assuming payroll is just 50% of commissions and return on sales is just 5%. By employing the principles outlined in this program and putting the techniques into practice, you can dramatically impact your bottom line while reducing the stress and anxiety of your staff. This one-hour webinar presents the big picture on how to begin to get control of your time.
