Find your customers and support them back

DISCLOSURE: I do not advertise. Not in the traditional sense at least. I also never say know to a request from a policyholder/friend/customer for a sponsorship/support of something they are involved in.

So I was at a zoo this weekend. Washington National Zoo to be exact. Great time, great place. While at one exhibit I noticed this sign;

Really neat exhibit and I am fine with seeing State Farm’s name there. I respect them as a company and think this is a great move. Why would you not want your logo in a happy place where lots of families are. Especially since families are a huge piece of your customer base. But then again you see State Farm almost everywhere. They probably have customers in every physical space that they put their name.

But does the band aid fit?

So the other morning I was shaving and cut my chin a bit. Somehow these tiny cuts bleed profusely and with about an hour before I had to leave I had to do something.

The myth that is “apples to apples”

That is the first and best place to start, lets first see what you have in place and make sure that what you need matches up with what you have and also is what you want. Once we do that now we can go forward. **Price is irrelevant at this point**

I’m Guilty

A few weeks back I was stopped for talking on a phone without a headset. I rarely do this and the fact is I was momentarily lazy on a Sunday morning. The officer actually saw the headset on the dashboard but it was to no avail. I AM GUILTY.

Rate increases are bad for everyone

Unfortunately people have come to accept rate increases with their auto and home insurance policies. Kind of sad. They have heard all sorts of silly excuses;

” Rates are going up across the state…”

“It’s inflation…”

” The big storms across the country are the cause..”

BLAH BLAH BLAH
