Hot Enough For You?
It’s that time of year when it gets uncomfortably warm here in the Southwest, so we wanted to take this moment to tell you about one of our more popular lines of business. The Air Conditioning and Heating Repair Services are busier now then ever. The cool news is that we have a fast, simple program built just for them! In fact you can rate it in just minutes right in your own office. Go to our web page at www.statewide-insurance.com and click on the Rapid Raters programs and select the Artisan Contractors button. Now, we have several companies that will write this line of business so do yourself a favor and click that red balloon near the top of the page. This little feature allows you to rate all of our carriers writing A/C and Heating Repair at one time! No more triple and quadruple inputting, just answer the 11 questions on that page and click submit. You’ll get a list of all the carriers and their premiums in one sitting! Nice, eh? Those that have tried it LOVE it! The price is right, too. If you want us to walk you through it a couple of times, just call. Any one of our commercial underwriters is more than willing to show off this gem. A/C and Heating Repair; what better time to attack a market than summertime?! Call us. We’re waiting. . .

Convention Time!
This is just a reminder that Statewide has a booth at TWO Arizona conventions this year. The first convention is the Arizona Independent Insurance Agents Convention, August 27th at The Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa. The exhibit hall will be open on the 27th from 2 pm – 7: 30 pm. The second convention is the Arizona Agents Alliance Convention at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort in Chandler September 8th & 9th. Their exhibit hall will be open on the 9th from 2 pm to 6 pm. We will have lots of goodies to give away as well as a couple of door prizes. It’s a LOT of fun, a great chance to meet your underwriters and a unique networking opportunity. You’ll learn a lot about us and other companies out there plus have a bag of goodies to take home! If you need any specific information about either of these two conventions, please feel free to call our Marketing Manager, Dave Ranes at 602-494-6931. He’ll fill you in on all the details. More importantly . . . BE THERE! We’d love to see you. (All States)
Why do they call it “getting your dog fixed” if afterwards it doesn’t work anymore?
It’s A HIT!
Wow! Our Multi-Home Program has really taken off!! Better than we ever expected, too! Once you try this “one-of-a-kind” program you’ll be hooked. We’ve asked one of our best carriers to allow us to put multiple homes owned by one individual or corporation on just one policy. We also asked that the insured be allowed to remove the vacancy clause so they won’t have to worry if one of their properties suddenly becomes vacant. Or leave the vacancy clause in and get an even LOWER rate! Now they can insure all their homes with one policy and one expiration date. All you have to do is add or delete them like you would an auto policy and then let us take care of the rest. No, you don’t have to complete an application for each home, nor do you have to get inspections and photos. Just tell us a few bits of info on the property and we’ll add it to the policy and bill it to the insured accordingly. Can it be any easier? Guess you’ll just have to try it yourself, huh? Once you do, you’ll never use another carrier for your multi-home clients. We guarantee it. Call Kyle Hammontree (x940), Rick Katz (x914) or Dave Ranes (x931) for more information and ask them to send you the simple self-rater to your email. This program is a MUST for ANY AGENCY!! (AZ & NV)
We are inundated with questions and requests for Work Comp Coverage. Let’s just take a moment to qualify what our limited market can do and what you need to know before you submit a work comp risk. First, most every class we can write will need to have at least 2 years experience in work comp. There are VERY few classes that can be new ventures. Examples include Office/Clerical exposures, Barber/Beauty Shops, Laundry/Dry Cleaning, limited Restaurants and limited Motel classes. Next, we’ll need a completed ACORD application with the General Information and Work Comp sections as well as any loss runs you may have. Once that is done, we’ll do our VERY BEST to get you a quick quote. Yes, it’s direct bill and payment plans are indeed available. But remember, it’s a tough market out there and our carrier is particular in what they will insure. So don’t be discouraged if we can’t write everything that comes across your desk. One good note is that our pricing is definitely competitive when we find a risk we can write. Call Dave Ranes (x931) or Dan Braude (x944) for any questions you may have. (All States)
Why do we press harder on remote control buttons when we know the battery is dead?
Still writing Vacant Property, that is. Every day we get requests to write Vacant Homes and Vacant Commercial Buildings and every day, we write them! Our vacancy market is second to none. Short Term or Long Term, it doesn’t matter. Need Vandalism Coverage? You got it. Need a competitive rate? You’ve got that, too. If you need a quote simply call Kyle Hammontree (x940) for your personal lines vacancies or Dan Braude (x944) for your commercial vacancies and let them go to work for you. Within minutes you have a quote in hand that you’re sure to sell. It’s an “A” rated carrier, too! Remember, we can handle a risk that may be in the process of fixing their property up, too. Call us and give us a shot at whatever you’ve got! (All States)
I like long walks, especially if they are taken by people who annoy me.
The Southwest is known as an oasis for those winter visitors who come here to thaw out from the snow and cold. The beauty of a snowbird is that they have property that they need to insure and Statewide is JUST the company for them! Seasonal Residences are a specialty of ours and we want to remind you that we have several homeowner programs that welcome the seasonal home. No need to write the primary, we can do the seasonal home mono-line! The best part is that the pricing is VERY competitive. We’ll even entertain the Corporate Owned Home!! What more can you ask for? Kyle Hammontree (x940) is standing by waiting for your phone call. Ok, maybe he’s sitting, but he is waiting for you to call to see how great his homeowner products really are! Call the poor sap, would ya? (All States)
It’s been said that knowledge is power and never has that been truer than in the world of insurance. Our income depends on our accuracy as well as our ability to get an insured the coverage they need. If your staff doesn’t know what your carriers are capable of, you’re losing money and setting up some possible grief. We want to help. The second Thursday of every month we have a lunchtime class here at Statewide geared to showing you how our Rapid Raters and Personal Lines Rater works. We give you the ins and outs of our system, show you how simple everything really is and feed you at the same time! The beauty is that it only takes an hour! Call Dave Ranes (x931), our marketing man, to reserve your seat today. Classes fill up fast so don’t be left out. We promise you’ll walk out well-informed and comfortable using all of our online raters. Time well spent, friends. (All are invited!)
