Kin Gives Floridians New Insurance Discounts Following Passage of Assignment of Benefits Bill

Leave a comment


Kin Logo

With this legislation, we can now offer a discount to our Florida-based customers who do not assign their benefits to third parties, and we’ll continue to look for ways to better serve and simplify the home insurance process for Florida homeowners.


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. and CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Kin Insurance, the insurance technology company reinventing home insurance for catastrophe-prone areas with easy, affordable coverage and world-class customer service, announced it now offers two new discounts for Florida homeowners.

The Responsible Repair Discount, an industry first, offers an 18 percent discount on the water peril premium for an average discount of five percent off the total premium and is made possible by the passage of Insurance Assignment Agreements (SB 122, HB 7065). The e-Policy Discount provides another $10 premium discount. Both discounts will be live for all policies with an effective date of December 2, 2019 or later.

“While other carriers may increase their rates, we’re lowering ours. With this legislation, we can now offer a discount to our Florida-based customers who do not assign their benefits to third parties, and we’ll continue to look for ways to better serve and simplify the home insurance process for Florida homeowners,” said Sean Harper, CEO and co-founder of Kin.

The bill, which was passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, makes the Responsible Repair Discount possible. The bill pertains to an assignments of benefits (AOB) agreement, which is an agreement that, once signed, transfers the insurance claims rights or benefits of a consumer’s insurance policy to a third party. It gives the third party authority to file a claim, make repair decisions and collect insurance payments without the consumer’s involvement.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, abuse of AOB has fueled a crisis in Florida as the state has seen a 70 percent increase in AOB-related lawsuits from 2013-2018. AOB abuse has also cost Floridians billions in premiums to address unnecessary or overly expensive repairs as well as legal fees.

“Kin remains committed to serving the state of Florida, which is already a complex insurance market facing natural disasters, and consumer feedback indicates a very strong desire for the Responsible Repair Discount. We believe the majority of our Florida-based customers don’t want to assign their rights to a third party and instead, would prefer a discount for agreeing not to,” said Angel Conlin, Kin’s St. Petersburg-based chief legal officer.

These policy discounts follow the announcement of Kin’s mobile home insurance offering in Florida and the launch of Kin’s Florida home insurance carrier, the Kin Interinsurance Network. Kin has offices in Chicago and St. Petersburg. Both offices are currently hiring new and experienced engineers, developers, customer service as well as insurance representatives, including agents and underwriters to serve policyholders in and beyond Florida.

2020 Family Office Database Now Available

Leave a comment



BOSTON (PRWEB)

Massinvestor is excited to announce the launch of its 2020 Family Office Database https://familyofficedata.net/, which profiles more than 550 Family Offices of super-wealthy families, actively making investments in Private Equity, Venture Capital, Hedge Funds, Operating Businesses, Real Estate, and Entertainment.

Profiling hard-to-find, U.S. based Single Family Offices, The Family Office Database is the definitive resource for professionals looking to research and make contact with elusive High Net Worth Family Offices doing deals.

The Family Office Database is unique in that it concentrates on Single Family Offices, as opposed to Multi-Family.

Editor Michael Stern commented on this distinction: “While other Family Office products will make claims of having ‘thousands’ of profiles, their lists are often inaccurate,” Stern explained. “They will include entities that are poorly researched, aren’t actually family offices; and are instead money managers, charitable concerns, or other types of financial institutions. Most ‘Multi-Family’ Offices are simply investment advisors providing concierge services.”

Created by experienced researchers, The Family Office Database offers extensive data sets. Profiles contain complete contact information (phone, fax, web site), summary of each Family Office, industry focus, stage specialty, portfolio companies, and the investment team (including email addresses of most partners).

A one-year Family Office Database subscription is continuously updated with new firms, partners and portfolio companies. Users can perform filtered searches and export data an unlimited number of times to PDF and Excel.

A single-user subscription is just $595.00, a special price through Dec. 31. The Database is exclusively available at Family Office Database https://massinvestor.3dcartstores.com/FamilyOfficeDatabase

Drivers Can Use Online Quotes And Save Car Insurance Money

Leave a comment


News Image

“Comparing car insurance quotes online will help you find the cheaper car insurance that is worth your money,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to use car insurance quotes online and compare prices.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes, check https://compare-autoinsurance.org/is-it-possible-to-compare-car-insurance-rates-online/

Getting insurance quotes is essential for those looking for cheaper coverage. The insurance market is highly competitive, making it easier for customers to get really affordable plans and high-quality services. Websites like http://compare-autoinsurance.org/ allow customers to get multiple quotes at once and discover which company has the best deals in the area.

Drivers can compare car insurance prices online. Online quotes are provided by either insurer or by brokerage websites that cooperate with insurers. Either way, it is important to get as many quotes as possible and compare them. In only takes several minutes to finish an online questionnaire.

Generally, a number of 10-15 quotes will be more than enough to start comparing prices. It is important to know that quotes for different types of insurance should not compare in between. A quote for collision coverage should not be compared with one for comprehensive coverage. Also, when comparing quotes, make sure to quote the same coverage options – deductibles, coverage limits, add-ons, and payment options.

There are two ways to get quotes: from an insurer or from the brokerage website.

If a person gets quotes directly from providers, it would take them about 5-10 minutes to fill in a form and wait for results. We are talking about extended forms, not submit forms with 3-4 questions. For ten quotes, it may take that person for almost two hours. This is why most people usually stop at 5 quotes using this method.

However, the alternative will provide a high number of quotes in the shortest time available. Using brokerage websites will help to get 5-10 quotes on a single page, with a single search run. After getting a reasonable number of quotes, at least 5, then the customer should start comparing policies. Always make a top of the highest rated companies and try to get quotes from them.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers.

Saladworks™ Announces the Hiring of Mark Mears as Interim Chief Marketing Officer

Leave a comment



CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (PRWEB)

— Saladworks, the leading entrée salad franchise that offers Guests Create Your Own and specialty salads and bowls, today announces that Mark Mears has joined the team as Interim Chief Marketing Officer. In this role, Mears will lead the company’s efforts in elevating the concept to increase Guest frequency in established markets and build brand awareness in emerging markets. The franchise brand is pacing to double in size to have nearly 200 locations open by the end of 2020.

Mears brings over three decades worth of restaurant, retail and hospitality industry experience to his Saladworks role. He has held executive leadership positions including SVP/Chief Marketing Officer for The Cheesecake Factory, EVP/Chief Marketing Officer for Noodles & Company, Chief Marketing Officer for Schlotzsky’s, and President and Chief Concept Officer for Mimi’s Cafe. Mears possesses a unique and diverse background in building growth brands such as PepsiCo/Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Frito-Lay, JCPenney and NBC/Universal, among others. Mears is a visionary business leader with a significant track record of building shareholder value by driving innovation and profitable growth among world-class, high profile brands.

Most recently, Mears served as Chief Growth Officer for L.E.A.F. Growth Ventures, LLC—a consulting firm he founded that leverages the power of four revolutionary, purpose-centric processes (Leadership, Engagement, Accountability and Fulfillment) to help individuals, teams and organizations achieve their full growth potential while making a positive, lasting impact in the world.

“Saladworks has a unique opportunity to tap into the way Guests want to dine today, and the company represents an excellent fit with my personal brand,” said Mears. “For me, I love building teams and I love building brands and this is a great opportunity to do both. Saladworks is extremely well-positioned for longevity and success within the fast-casual segment, offering relevant, fresh toppings for an increasingly health-conscious society. No matter how a Guest wants to create their own meal, we give them that option to be original and make something truly unique. After all, each Guest is different, so each Guest’s salad should embrace one’s preferences, whether dietary, nutritional or guided by taste.”

With over 100 restaurants across the country, Saladworks is growing through franchising to meet the rapidly increasing demand for healthier meal options. As Americans experience a cultural shift toward incorporating a variety of dietary needs and nutritional preferences into their lifestyles, providing Guests with customizable, affordable salads is not a new concept for the established originator in the segment. For more than three decades, Saladworks has been providing carefully-chosen, quality ingredients, along with an ongoing commitment to freshness, flavor and value. Now, with the help of Mears, Saladworks is better positioned to reach its full potential as a leader in the Create Your Own salad space.

“Mark is an exceptionally strong addition to the team, and he has previously driven impressive company growth and marketing results at major franchise brands,” said Saladworks CEO, Kelly Roddy. “Over the next year as we enter our next phase of growth to double our locations to reach the 200 mark, Mark will play an integral role, leading our marketing and culinary strategy that will grow our loyal fanbase and increase awareness of our industry-leading franchise opportunity.”

Saladworks provides a scalable investment opportunity and strong unit-level profitability for entrepreneurs looking to bring healthy, fresh meal options to their communities. The company is expanding its franchise unit count through both traditional restaurant locations and also at nontraditional venues such as airports, military bases and universities. The brand currently has many prime markets still available for franchise development and is actively identifying franchise partners in major cities including Pittsburgh, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, while also pursuing franchise development across the states of Ohio, Virginia, New Jersey and North Carolina.

Insurance Experts Explain Why Seniors Are Considered High-Risk Drivers

Leave a comment


News Image

“Age is an important factor and it is analyzed by each insurance company. People over 65 are gradually becoming high-risk drivers”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains why seniors are considered high-risk drivers and how this influences the car insurance costs.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/can-seniors-be-considered-high-risk-drivers/

The elderly are considered high-risk drivers by most of the insurance companies. As a direct result, they are charged more. When renewing coverage or changing the insurance providers, seniors are advised to get car insurance quotes online. Now, it is possible to compare multiple quotes in a single search page. Just use http://compare-autoinsurance.org to get quotes from many reliable insurance agencies.

Seniors are more exposed to serious or fatal injuries. The risk of being injured or killed in a motor vehicle crash increases as people age. The body of an elder person is frail and it is not able to sustain much damage. This aspect is extremely important for insurance companies. Keep in mind that they have to pay for medical expenses or funeral expenses.

After the age of 65, people are charged more on car insurance. The Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states the increase is caused by the following factors:

  • Reduced vision.

  • Poorer cognitive functioning.

  • Age-related diseases.

  • Prescription medications.

Hearing and sight progressively deteriorate with age. Seniors begin not to hear high pitched tones, like the ones produced by police cars, firefighter cars or railroad warnings. Visual acuity also gradually decreases. Other age-related problems may impair driving. Elder drivers are recommended to periodically take medical exams and check if they should quit driving or not.

Involvement in fatal crashes is higher among drivers ages 70‒74 and is highest among drivers ages 85 and older. An elder’s body is more susceptible to medical complications. Combine that with the diminished perception and we get a really dangerous combination.

Pinnacle Group Chairman and CEO Nina Vaca named to SIA Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing List for Fifth Year in a Row

Leave a comment


Nina Vaca, Pinnacle Group Chairman and CEO

“One of the things I am most proud of at Pinnacle Group is our strong culture that values diversity where women and minorities can thrive and contribute meaningfully in this industry.”


DALLAS (PRWEB)

Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), the global advisor on staffing and workforce solutions, named Pinnacle Group Chairman and CEO Nina Vaca to their annual Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list for the fifth time in the list’s five-year history.

Vaca founded Pinnacle Group in 1996 and under her visionary leadership it has won over 135 local and national awards for exceptional performance and has been recognized repeatedly for rapid yet sustained growth. Pinnacle Group was named fastest growing women-owned business in the country by the Women Presidents’ Organization in both 2018 and 2015 and has been featured on the Inc 500/5000 list of fastest growing private companies 13 times. Over the past 18 months, Vaca has overseen the company’s expansion into the UK and Latin America as well as the launch of the Progata Talent Platform. During that same timeframe, Pinnacle Group became the only woman- and minority-owned company to be named a Beeline Certified Strategic Partner. Vaca was inducted into SIA’s Staffing 100 Hall of Fame in 2018.

SIA created the Global Power 150 list to shine a spotlight on women in leadership positions and to recognize the significant contributions and influence of women industry-wide.

“The women named to this year’s Global Power 150 list play an important role in bringing value to the workforce solutions ecosystem, elevating not only the bottom line for their organizations but lifting up their teams through a passionate focus on employee development and creation of positive and inclusive cultures in which talent thrives,” said Subadhra Sriram, Editor & Publisher, Media Products at SIA.

By recognizing women like Vaca who have stood out as leaders and influencers in the global talent marketplace, the SIA Global Power 150 showcases the impact this diverse set of leaders, from CEOs and entrepreneurs to division heads, technologists and attorneys, have had on shaping a $490 billion global staffing industry each day.

“The women on this list are powerful forces for change in the staffing industry and I am honored to be included among them,” said Vaca. “So often you cannot be what you cannot see, so by highlighting the accomplishments of these powerful women in staffing SIA is paving the way for the next generation of transformational women leaders. One of the things I am most proud of at Pinnacle Group is our strong culture that values diversity where women and minorities can thrive and contribute meaningfully in this industry.”

The Global Power 150 – Women in Staffing list is sponsored by Bullhorn, the global leader in software for the staffing industry. Bullhorn, like Vaca, shares a passion for expanding opportunities for women in business.

“Though numbers have grown in recent years, McKinsey reports there is still less than 30 percent female representation for top leadership roles in North America alone. It is crucial that we recognize these role models, and support and celebrate continued advances,” said Art Papas, Founder and CEO of Bullhorn.

Profiles are featured in the November/December 2019 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine.
