9/25/09 Register Now for NAPSA's Webinar – How to Look Good to an Insurance Company
October 28, 2009
2:00 PM Eastern
Background
No matter what your business operations, you are in business to make a profit, live comfortably, send your kids to school, be involved in the community, and be respected by your peers. From an insurance perspective these are all positive indicators. But how do you show that on paper and communicate that with an insurance carrier looking to take the risk of your business?
Webinar Goals
Upon completion of the webinar, attendees can expect to better understand:
- What insurance companies look for when underwriting and evaluating your business account
- How you position yourself to get the most favorable insurance products and pricing for your business
- How to take the mystery out of the insurance underwriting and pricing philosophy.
About the Webinar
The upcoming webinar will be 60 minutes in length. Upon registering, you will receive dial in instructions and the visual presentation will be emailed to you the week of the webinar. Participants listen and follow along with the presenters slides. There will be a question and answer period at the end of the presentation. The cost of the webinar will be $25 USD for NAPSA Members and $50 USD for Non-Members. Certificates of participation will be mailed to all registered attendees. You are welcome to have as many individuals participate at your location as you want (ie. 15 people may participate under 1 registration), however, only the registered individual will receive the certificate of participation.
