ABEN - Risk, Risk Management and Insurance: Why Agents Are NOT Risk Managers (#134231)

“Risk” is not our enemy. In fact, risk is necessary for a society to survive and prosper. To prepare for the risks inherent in everything we do, we must understand the concept of risk, learn how to measure risk and be prepared to manage it.

“Risk management” and “Insurance” are not synonymous. Risk management is a process combining methods for reducing or avoiding an undesirable event. Insurance is only one tool used in risk management that combines the concepts of risk transfer and risk sharing.

ABEN - Why Certificates of Insurance...Just Why? (#131003)

Without using hyperbole, thousands of certificates of insurance (COIs) are issued every day; and, again without hyperbole, most of them are issued improperly. In fact, your agency may have issued an improper certificate as recently as this morning.

What is it about COIs that can get an agency in trouble? If there were just one or two things, it would make your job a whole lot easier, but in reality, there are about 27 different ways a COI can get you in trouble. OK, so 27 isn't an exact number, but you get the idea. A "simple" COI is a potentially dangerous weapon that can be used against your agency.

To say the market is changing is an understatement.  We are going to be (if not already) forced to deal with many of these trends.  This course starts with the changing market place and all of the pressures we will face in the coming year(s).  We will then shift gears to actual claims and coverage issues that have been creating a little heartburn for agents.  Come along and enjoy perhaps one of the more cutting-edge courses of the year.
