Spiderman’s Uncle Ben once said, “With great power comes great responsibility”.   Freedom is an awesome state of being but it also takes much more responsibility and work to remain free than it does to live under oppression.  I have high hopes for the people of Egypt, and I pray that they will know what it is like to live in a country founded on equality and justice. Unfortunately, we have seen many totalitarian countries fall only to see the people become tangled in the web of self-interest. Creating a democracy almost never works – so here is some additional Spiderman wisdom the people of Egypt should consider:

Not everyone is meant to make a difference.  But for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option.  – Peter Parker aka Spiderman

Guess what – business as usual is no longer an option either.  Sometimes that means being intentional about how you want your business to grow – and I don’t just mean numbers.  Sooner or later we will all get tired of the race to the bottom which is where we’ll end up when only the cheapest quote will do. Tuscano is working hard to make this a relationship business and not just a numbers game.  If you are in the insurance business because you believe that knowing your customer’s story will help you protect their assets and their financial well-being, then we are the broker you should be talking to.  

My Spidey sense is telling me that we have all sorts of opportunity to write business for you.  As the economy turns, we should be seeing many a small contractor working on the properties that have been idle for the past 2 years.  With our online contractor rater, you can get a quote in minutes and bypass the submission process – kind of like getting waived into the first-class security line at the airport!  Don’t forget about the folks you know who are buying up properties as investments either. We have great markets for real estate investors  - whether the property is vacant or rented, a dwelling, multi-unit, or mixed occupancy.  If you need a quick quote for a vacant dwelling – use the online rater and go from zero to done in 60 seconds!  

Hopefully I won’t jinx the early spring that Punxsutawney Phil predicted by talking about motorcycles! While snowmobile season is still going strong, it is never too early to dust off our bikes when the sun is shining.  Our motorsport markets are committed to serving your customers with a quality product and competitive pricing.  While we are talking personal lines, I wanted to remind you that our personal umbrella markets are expanding!  We have 4 markets to write this business – covering everything from rock climbers to rock stars!  More good news – RLI has expanded their program to offer excess UM & UIM coverage on their umbrella policy.  The coverage is available to all clients – so be sure to review this new option with your insured when his/her policy comes around for renewal.

As usual – give us a call or drop us an email anytime you have a risk you need help to place – Spiderman may not get the girl, but Tuscano can help you win the account.
