More Group Opportunities
Agents and their clients have two new opportunities to cash in on the benefits of group coverage.
The new Texas Automotive Safety Group is open to qualifying tire sales centers, general auto repair facilities, lube centers, auto parts stores, body shops, brake repair shops, automotive machine shops and radiator shops.
This fall, Texas Sign Association (TSA) Comp Group Inc. opened its doors to all licensed Texas agents and their qualifying clients. TSA is open to on-premise sign product manufacturers, sign supply distributors and associated sign service providers.
Agents who work with Safety Groups can increase their market share, generate higher premium volumes and maintain renewal stability. Their clients get a premium discount, an industry-specific safety plan, and potential group and individual dividends.*
Any licensed Texas agent can submit qualifying clients for consideration in either group.
Groups earn dividends
Texas Mutual Insurance Company has paid more than $10 million in group dividends in 2007. Group dividends are based largely on each group's premium volume and loss ratio.
Simply put, groups that grow and control their losses improve their chances of qualifying for dividends.
