Million Dollar Consultant® Hall of Fame
I'm proud to announce that I have been inducted into the Million Dollar Consultant® Hall of Fame by Dr Alan Weiss, the original Million Dollar Consultant®.
I am the first insurance / risk management consultant to be so honored out of the 20 members inducted since 2006. Worldwide, six other consultants have been added to the Hall of Fame this year.
Weiss has over thirty years of experience working with top companies such as Merck, GE, and Mercedes Benz. He also works with some of the best consultants in the world, and singles out those he sees as particularly talented.
To quote Dr. Weiss, "These consultants are regarded by peers as being among the world leaders in consulting, as evidenced by empirical accomplishments in client results, professional contributions, and intellectual property."
March marked my ninth year as an insurance consultant. July marks my 30th year in the insurance business. This award is a highlight for me. It is recognition by my peers that my work is of value.
Insurance Help Topics
When Do You Report Claims? - I'm often asked when claims should be reported. This blog post give my opinion. This is by no means the consensus of opinion by insurance folks. I often have a different take. That's why my clients hire me.
Insurance Issues For Home Based Businesses - This is one of my most popular blog posts of late. More and more people are working from home. Here are some insurance issues to consider.
Thousands of Pieces of Insurance Info - A reminder that my website and blog have literally thousands of pieces of insurance info. I have covered more insurance topics in my nine years as a consultant than any other unbiased insurance source.
It is all there for you to use for free - www.ScottSimmonds.com and www.InsuranceAssuranceBlog.com.
www.BankInsuranceBlook.com. - The blog version of my book, Simmonds on Bank Insurance. A comprehensive buyer's guide for bankers who buy insurance for their banks.
www.WorkCompBlook.com. - Blog version of Simmonds on Workers' Compensation Insurance. How to manage and buy workers' compensation insurance. Filled with information to control your work comp costs.
Insurance Buyer's Toolkits - I'm in the final stages of two insurance workbooks - I call them Toolkits. Both help insurance buyers audit their own insurance programs. I realize that not everyone wants to pay my consulting fees for help. These are an alternative. Filled with solid, proven questions that lead to the right insurance program. Articles, definitions, and more. I expect to have both ready in mid-month.
