How your clients are impacted by the federal lead-based paint certification requirements

This webinar is to educate insurance brokers and agents on the basic requirements of the EPA's federal Lead-based paint Renovation, Repair and Painting rule (40 CFR Part 745) effective 4/11/2010. This new federal law has created a need for entities who receive compensation for any pre-1978 residential or child occupied paint disturbances to maintain both Pollution as well as Professional liability insurance specifically for lead-based paint coverage. This webinar will educate you on this new federal law, the risk to the insureds and the risk to you if you do not obtain in writing that you offered the appropriate insurance. This webinar will educate you on the solution for you and your insureds as well as any prospects you might want to begin to build a relationship with. This webinar was designed to provide you with the education necessary to properly educate your clients & prospects, to earn their trust that you are continually watching out for their best interest, while simultaneously documenting the offering and potentially providing the coverage.

Maximizing Your Agency's Internet Presence

Showing up on a search engine results page has become a key way to connect with your existing clients as well as generate new business. But, being found on the Internet takes much more than having an agency website and a Facebook page. Maximizing your Internet presence, so anyone can find you, requires understanding how search engines work and then learning the specific steps that any agency can take to increase their chances of being visible to people searching. The good news is that it costs little to get started. This presentation details what you need to do to get started.
