I am feeling a bit uninspired so I’ll jump over to one of my favorite topics; Dude, what’s with the Pittsburgh Pirates? Can you believe they are in the home stretch of the season and still in the plus .500 column? Oh yeah! Or how about the fact that going into Labor Day weekend they are one game out of the wildcard hunt? I know, maybe I shouldn’t be too optimistic or I might jinx them. Still, wouldn’t a post-season be a wonderful treat?

The post-season for insurance is coming up on us fast as well. Summer, for the most part, is over or at least the kids are back in school. With September, we’ll be back at our desks and looking to pick up on some of the projects we let slide over the summer. You may also be looking at your marketing efforts and trying to decide what products or programs you are going to focus on. Here is where I can help you.

We’ve had a great run of successes over the summer writing commercial auto business. Our truck markets are hot, hot, hot! And, they tell me that the market is still changing. We have great programs, especially for local/intermediate trucks and we love, love, love to write dump trucks! Look to Tuscano for your unusual transportation account too. We have programs for Amish transports, social service vans, and more. Don’t count us out! We will amaze you!

Another product that seems to hit everyone’s radar this time of year is Workers Comp. We have 6 different markets to go to for unsupported WC. We can look at high mod, high premium accounts as well as small to medium size accounts. Don’t hesitate to give us a call – we’ll let you know if we think we can get you across home plate.

We also just took on a new ‘power-hitter’ market for your high net worth personal lines clients. Everyone has one, two, or maybe more affluent clients. And yes, affluent clients come in all ‘shapes and sizes’. Sometimes it is the guy you knew growing up who built a business and made it big. Sometimes it is the CEO of a large commercial account you write. Any way you look at it, your affluent customer often has needs that the standard markets can’t meet. With specialty coverage, you are not selling insurance as much as you are selling value and incredible service. In this program, we can write the home, auto, collections, excess, watercraft, flood, and more. We can write more difficult risks too, like coastal properties, equine exposures, or historic homes. Call the personal lines team and ask them about this new program – you really CAN Do It with Tuscano!

Winning the game, the account, or the opportunity to step up to the plate – it takes stamina and yes, maybe some good old-fashioned magic!

Go Bucs!
