Holiday Handlers . . .
It’s that time of year when vendors are everywhere. You’ll find them in kiosks at the mall, on the corner of almost every street or lined up at the holiday street fair. What can you do about it? Cash IN! These holiday vendors may not be in business for the long haul, but that’s ok because Statewide can write them for the SHORT TERM! They may need a special event policy for that Holiday Arts & Crafts Fair, or the landlord on the corner may need a certificate of insurance for the duration of their stay. The mall may need them to have their own policy, too! We’re here to help. From Christmas Tree Lots to Ornament Organizers, whatever they do to cash in on the holidays, make it your business to write their insurance. No need to wrestle with an application just yet. Get some information from the insured and let one of our commercial underwriters know what you’ve got. Chances are we can give you an indication over the phone. Once you sell the price, we’ll worry about the apps. Fast, simple and well priced makes Statewide your Holiday Haven. Give us a call! (All States)
The Top 10!
We just received our annual Surplus Lines Market Review for 2009 from AM Best and are thrilled to announce that we use 3 of the top 10 carriers! Many General Agencies boast that they have “A” Rated markets, but how many can say they have 3 of the top 25 companies in the “Who’s Who” list in AM Best Reports? Not many! Statewide prides itself on having the best companies with the best products at a price you can sell. We’re very proud of our companies and it shows in each and every quote. We just wanted you to know that it’s never a question of whether our companies are good enough, it’s more a question of have you tried us lately?? (All States)
I’m right 97% of the time.
Who cares about the other 4%?

Drilling for oil is boring.
How is your Mobile Home Market?
When you’re quoting your mobile home risks are you frustrated with having to answer too many questions? Do they decline the risk after you’ve answered everything and done all that they required? Is the price just too high? Well, we have an alternative for you. Statewide has been writing Mobile Homes for over 40 years and our markets are as strong now as they’ve ever been. Price? Not an issue. Commissions? Try 20/17 for starters! While other companies keep raising or changing their prices, we’ve managed to keep our prices stable for a long time. All the coverages are there, so what’s holding you back? Is it the simple one page, dozen questions we ask before you get a guaranteed quote in your hands? Is it the 4 minutes it takes to quote, bind and issue a policy that’s keeping you away? Can’t be. We actually have producers call us and ask us why that was so simple! They think they did something wrong!! Friends, our system is so fast and easy, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it from day ONE! Competitive Pricing, Great Commissions and an Issuance System that is yet to be matched make us a MUST in your office. Call Kyle Hammontree (x940) for more information. We’ve been waiting for you! (Arizona Only)
Going Public!
Do you need a good public auto market? Statewide has an incredible market for such things as Airport Shuttles, Hotel Shuttles, City-to-City Shuttles, Van Pools, Sightseeing Buses and Outfitter and Guide Ventures and more! Livery is a huge market out there and it seems to be growing every day. We’re getting a lot of requests for it, so we just wanted to make sure you’re aware that we’re a player and ready to quote whatever you can throw at us! Fawn Reed (x917) is one fast underwriter when it comes to commercial wheels so put her to the test! It’s like she has the rates sitting in a gun holster or something! Even Cowboy Dan Braude (x944) can hit the mark from twenty paces. Heck, for that matter any ONE of our commercial underwrites is a sure shot when it comes to Public Auto risks. Pick up the phone, make the call and get a quote that’ll have you singing “Merrily We Roll Along” for the rest of the day. (All States)
Did you hear about the man at the flower shop who was robbed at gunpoint?
He was a Petrified Florist.
What Do You Mean It’s Not Covered??
Words any producer hates to hear, right? One of the biggest fears for an agent is that you haven’t provided the appropriate coverage for your insured. This has never been more prevalent then when it comes to clients running a business out of their private home. You’d be amazed at how many of your current homeowners are operating a small to medium sized business out of their house and are certain everything is covered under their existing homeowners policy. Not so, right? If they’re receiving customers and/or goods at their place of residence, they’re exposed in ways they couldn’t possibly imagine. No worries. We have put together one of the best stand-alone Home Business Programs you’ll ever use. We don’t even have to be the company writing their home insurance! We’ll be happy to write their Home Based Business, mono-line, at a price they can certainly afford. Go to our website at www.statewide-insurance.com and click on the Rapid Raters icon. Look for the icon “Home Based Business” and within seconds you’ll have a flat rate that can be written on the spot. This is a huge market and most of your risks are sitting in your file cabinet. Let your clients know that assuming they have coverage for their little business is the first step to an unwanted disaster. Let us help! (All States)
