Inside the Insurance Industry - Third Edition by Kevin Glaser Pdf

My entire career has been spent in the insurance industry. And, having listened to others talk about their occupations, it seems there are many worse places to have worked!Insurance provides an important role in society. It allows individuals and businesses the financial security to take risks without worrying about the adverse impact of a property loss or being sued by others who may allege you were negligent. Think about it. If you had no automobile insurance, would you be willing to jump in your car with no concerns about paying for damages to your car, or for bodily injury to others, if you had to pay for these things out-of-pocket? Also, would you be comfortable manufacturing a product that might cause personal injury to a user if you or your business had to pay for such injury out of your corporate earnings? And what if your corporate earnings were insufficient? A worst-case scenario might involve bankruptcy. But the insurance industry has its shortcomings. In my opinion, many of the problems that exist are the direct result of a lack of understanding about how various segments of the insurance industry work. Consumers and businesses don't know how insurance agents sell insurance, how their insurance policies work or how insurance companies operate. My purpose in writing Inside the Insurance Industry - Third Edition was to provide answers to questions like these. And, while many people's eyes glaze over when the topic of insurance comes up, I believe that you will find this book easy to comprehend and a quick read. Find out for yourself why so this book has earned so many #1 insurance book review rankings, and how you can save money during the insurance purchasing process!

Insuring QualityHow to Improve Quality, Compliance, Customer Service, and Ethics in the Insurance Industry by Les Abromovitz,Hedy Abromovitz Pdf

How can insurance providers boost their image and increase business? Hedy and Les Abromovitz's Insuring Quality takes a hard look at the insurance industry and suggests innovative new ways of improving customer satisfaction, turbo-charging sales and polishing the tarnished image of the industry. The insurance industry has an image problem. From Woody Allen movies to greeting cards, insurance agents are ridiculed as boring, overbearing pests out to make a quick buck at someone's expense. Recent criminal investigations into some of the nation's largest insurance providers have only made the situation worse. And that's bad news for insurance professionals - for more than any other business, the insurance industry is built on trust. This book was written by insurance professionals for insurance professionals - so every example in the book is based on a real-life situation. There's no ivory tower philosophizing or impenetrable jargon; just practical advice from two veterans who have examined the true relationship between quality, ethics, and customer service. As the authors say, "Insuring Quality will help your organization solve real-life problems. It's for the people in the trenches..."
