• Well, the year ended with a little bit of a letdown….

    December we lost money..but that’s to be expected some months..My production surely suffered as well….so my ego and pride are not in optimum functioning order…and I have decided I may need to cut back on the administrative functions of my job to focus more in generating new business….a process I’ll have to think through rather carefully, so that I don’t put our little agency in any jeopardy….

     “Tall Handsome Guy” kicked all of our butts…but whats

     new?… “Idea Guy” was #2….I was #3 and “Good Guy came

     at #4…..the spirit of competition however, is healthy and

     hale…and hopefully, next year will show an improvement..

      Trend-wise, the agency has done a great job of increasing

      business over the last couple of years..and with the addition

      of “New Guy”; “Cussing Guy” and “Independent Gal” we

      have reason for optimism…..

      I have an appointment in Anoka at 10..this is pretty exciting

      because it is a firm with 80 employee’s..so the premiums will

      be substantial…but I have to drop the Jag off first..and try to

      get a workout in today as well…..and see my second largest

      client who will become my #1 client because the workers

      compensation premiums will more than double due to losses.

      I had a call from a longtime client yesterday who asked if we

      couldn’t possibly find a way to lower her premiums…she was

      63 and it looked like she had all the discounts available….but

      then I asked her if she had taken a “defensive driving”

      course…”no, I haven’t…what is that?”…it is a class that is

      often time sponsored by one insurance company or another

      and once taken if your a senior will get you an additional

      10% credit on your auto insurance premiums….that can add

      up to a lot of savings…..”Where do I find one” she asked….

      I told her I’d find one for her….and did….she couln’t have

      thanked me enough…she’ll have to sit through an entire day’

      of training..but once complete she’ll cut her insurance costs.

      Are you eligible for a Defensive Driving Course?….call us.

      We’ll ask you a few questions and point you in the right

      direction…and you don’t even have to be a current client..

       952-448-3800….ask for Dan A. or Taylor…..
