"Green" is the new Gold

One way to fast track your business or career is to watch the latest trends for high-growth areas and position yourself and your company to take advantage of the new opportunity.

Insurance Journal's Academy of Insurance is committed to bringing you some of the best and cutting-edge training available in the property casualty business.

THIS WEDNESDAY our brand-new 4-part series on green building risks begins. (90 minutes of training, once a week for 4 weeks).

Click here for full course detail. (Read on for a special discount code below).

The U.S. green building market has experienced impressive growth over the past years. The value of green building construction starts was up 50% from 2008 to 2010.

This dramatic growth is forecast to continue for the next five years says McGraw-Hill Construction's "Green Outlook 2011: Green Trends Driving Growth" report.

The value of green building construction starts represents 25% of all new construction activity in 2010. According to projections, the green building market size is expected to reach $135 billion by 2015.

This fast paced growth brings more than opportunities to the insurance industry. The challenge is on the insurance industry to be prepared for these genuinely unique risks. And that's why we've designed this new four-part online training series.

Why this training is important:

The building industry is years ahead of the insurance industry in terms of participation, education, creating products, and marketing "green".

As green buildings become mainstream, the challenge is on the insurance industry to be prepared for these genuinely unique risks.

Here's What's Covered in This 3-Session Course

Class One: Research Your Program Opportunities - February 17

Before you can launch a program, you must determine the viability of the program. This class identifies everything you may need to consider to thoroughly research your program opportunities, including expertise development, competition, target client buying habits, territory, approaching carriers, exclusivity, MGA possibilities and technological concerns. The session also covers the many projections you will need to make to develop the optimal financial and operational management of any program.

Class Two: Turning Your Program Into a Reality - February 24

Once you have thoroughly researched the program, you can turn it into a reality. Part of program development involves approaching carriers and non-disclosure agreements (NDA's). Whether you choose a retail, wholesale or combined business model, you will learn a detailed approach for developing the sales and operational side of your program. Discussions highlighting staffing, recruitment and training, sales and marketing plans, underwriting guidelines, internal procedures, applications and more are covered in this part.

Class Three: How to Roll Out Your Program & Maintenance - March 3

After you have researched and developed your program, how do you get it out to the market? This final segment details how to roll out your program. Discussions revolve around sales scenarios, further development and coordination of sales and marketing plans and association involvement. Measurement of results is a key component - you have to think like both an agent and a carrier - and we show you how to take a "production underwriting" approach to making your program a success. Creative approaches for high retention and prolonging program life are discussed, as well as methods for staying ahead of your competition.

Duration: 1 hour

This class is part one of our two-part series on preparing professional underwriting submissions. Register for both training sessions today and you will save even more.

What this class will teach you:

A complete and professional application is only the first step in providing your underwriters with the information necessary to begin the underwriting process. Beyond the application, the agent must effectively communicate and address all the potential concerns of the underwriter by providing more than the bare minimum asked for in most standard applications.

Truly professional underwriting submissions prove the agent knows and understands the insured and its exposures. Plus, complete submissions (not just complete applications) allow the underwriter to feel more comfortable with the insured. Such comfort generally enables the underwriter to offer better coverage and better pricing.

This class zeros in on the information required by P&C underwriters. Learn how to effectively improve on the information requested in the application and get your submission moved to the top of the pile of submissions on the underwriter's desk.

We would recommend you invite your underwriter to your office to attend this class with you (no additional cost). Afterwards, you can discuss the information discussed and develop a plan for future submissions.
