While at a Rainmakers meeting this week, I was talking to an insurance agent about the high number of burglaries people are experiencing. As owners of an inventory service business, Mike and I like to provide education about personal property - or contents - insurance. This brief conversation offers great advice AND information.
Jeff Kolp, a State Farm Insurance Agent, told me that someone recently had a laptop stolen and realized later they could have had it insured with no deductible and 100% replacement, but did not take the time to call the agent. This holds true for jewelry and many other items. Find out what belongings you own that can and should have a special rider. Talk to your agent about your specific needs. Jeff's practice is to meet with each client every 12-18 months to review policies and life changes. Life does change - and fast.
Jeff's advice: The next time your agent calls, please call them back. If you don't, it usually will cost you money.

I love this post. Too often as an agent when I call I am not a priority. I can give a specific example whereby a customer lost a significant business opportunity because we didn't meet to have him prepared for the opportunity. Shame on me too for not following up more aggressively, but at some point employers have to realize that their agent needs to be in the loop for more than pricing the renewal.
