IS YOUR BROKER PROVIDING YOU WITH BRIGHT IDEAS? Every day at Jones DesLauriers our team of 200+ insurance professionals strive to provide our clients with Bright Ideas to mitigate their risk, help settle a claim or find an easier way to get a certificate issued. As a trusted advisor and service provider, we understand the need for us to provide innovative ideas and concepts to our clients on an ongoing basis. 16 feature PATRICK LENCIONI: CONQUERING TEAM DYSFUNCTION CONTENTS Today’s insurance marketplace continues to become more complex. The commercial auto market in Ontario is becoming a very difficult environment. Losses for insurance companies on commercial auto continue to grow and as such terms, price and conditions continue to get worse for clients. More than ever clients need brokers with Bright Ideas to help them manage their insurance costs. Without the right broker, clients with commercial auto exposure could end up with significant premium increases or worst terms and conditions. Jones DesLauriers is one of the largest commercial auto brokers in Ontario specializing in Transportation and Construction fleets. Our team has a wide-range of experience in providing innovative solutions both in traditional markets as well as through captive programs. In the commercial property and casualty segment, our team has access to the most markets of any broker in Ontario. This, combined with our volume with the insurance companies, allows our Expert Advisors to provide their clients with “bright ideas that help mitigate risk and lower their total cost of risk.” If your insurance broker is not providing you with Bright Ideas, I would suggest that there is an opportunity to change your insurance broker. Call Jones DesLauriers and ask for one of our expert advisors to review your current portfolio. After reviewing your portfolio and providing an audit, our professionals will provide you with Bright Ideas to lower your costs or enhance your coverage.
