Territory Update

Happy almost spring! As I write this, Texas, Oklahoma and most of the Southeast are trying to get back to normal after a major winter storm. This is turning out to be a large claims event for you and GuideOne. If you need assistance, please let me know.

Recent Wins

I am excited to share that our territory started out strong in the First Quarter. We recently won several six-figure accounts. In Louisiana, we bound a head start for over $250,000 in premium and an ARC for over $150,000.

Nonprofit and K-12 Education organizations continue to deliver our highest quote-to-bind ratios. Please reach out to me or Katie McDonough, your Nonprofit & Human Services underwriting specialist, to discuss any opportunities you may have. We look forward to assessing your nonprofit and education accounts and working together to find solutions in our appetite.

Preparing for Renewals

Do you need assistance staying ahead of your renewals? I can send you a report with renewal indications 120 days out, which may help you keep up with any changes and discuss other needs your clients may have. Let me know if you would like to see this report to determine if it can help you manage your renewal flow.

With many accounts renewing soon, it’s a great time to inform your clients about our newest GuideVantage alliance with MinistrySafe & Abuse Prevention Systems. This group is at the forefront of sexual misconduct prevention training across our country, and I am very proud that GuideOne has formed a relationship with them. View the module below to learn how they can help your clients protect themselves and those they serve.
