What it is A New Benefit of Membership The development process The objective Learning Developing the insurance industry message Due Diligence Let’s discuss it in terms of “value added” – emphasize the manner in which the FCIA is looking out for their interest with a focus (as in other areas) on the long term development of the Firestopping Trade. After initially improving the insurance program for one of your members we (along with several others insurance agencies) we asked to consider developing an insurance program for FCIA members. We saw this an excellent opportunity based upon our experience, our business model and our desire to be part of the development of one of the most important trades for the safety of our friends, families and co-workers. Learning and the message – studying the industry, touring job sites, reviewing the MOP The insurance message – YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS TRADE; solid loss potential due to highly professional training; the FM and UL certifications; bringing insurance companies to job sites; THE CONCERN THAT INSURERS ARE “ON THE RISK WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF IT” Due Diligence – contacting companies; our criteria for each insurer; All Risk and American Safety; CRC and “the market” Introduction
