Territory Update

We are in the home stretch of 2020, which happens to be my favorite time of the year. Football season is in full swing, fall colors are brilliant, and the holidays are soon upon us. It’s also a great time to reflect on accomplishments of the past year and consider goals for the new year. As you look ahead to 2021, take time to identify personal and/or professional milestones you want to reach.

Below, you will see a few items about loss control, and I strongly encourage you to view the summary of our GuideVantage offerings. Our GuideVantage partners stand ready to assist GuideOne policyholders with claim prevention and mitigation resources as well as tools to help them run and scale their operations more efficiently – all at discounted pricing. We are proud to provide more than just insurance to our policyholders who drive change in their communities. Call or email me anytime, and I will be glad to go over these offerings with you.

As you prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving and other upcoming holidays, I hope you and your family take time to celebrate each other and all that you made it through this year. My colleagues at GuideOne wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
