I've got two juicy tidbits for you today. Well, "juicy" is probably the wrong word here, but they're both helpful reminders (accompanied with sound advice) for all insurance professionals.

Up first is this post from the Specialty Insurance Blog, regarding the recent reports of the potential for major hurricanes on the East coast. In light of these predictions, the blog highlights some questions for both insurance agents and underwriters to consider as we head into weather-active seasons. This is a good read for all agents and should be reviewed by more than just the folks on the Eastern seaboard.

Next up is a little something from the The Sales Blog on the topic of badmouthing your competitors.

Author S. Innarino is right—openly bashing your competitors (especially in front of a client) is tacky. I'm not going to preach about it because Innarino gets the point across in this post. He also gives some wise words about discouraging prospects through differentiation—not the dis.

Alright. Bad use of "dis". Please forgive me.
