Special Feature: How to Sell It: Cyber Liability
As cyber liability continues to heat up with competition, independent insurance agents need to make sure they’re keeping pace. Barring a few obvious exceptions, prices are headed south-and that means now is the time for independent agents to get into the game.
“Most agents really do need to offer the coverage to every single client, because almost every single client has exposure,” says Alex Wayne, executive vice president at A.J. Wayne & Associates, Inc. “Even if you’re business-to-business and you don’t necessarily have any personally identifiable information, you still have personally identifiable information of your employees.” Click here to read the full story at IA Magazine.
Don’t forget that cyber liability markets are offered on Big “I” Markets through A.J. Wayne & Associates!
