Use Hole-in-One Coverage to Build Client List

Download Application

It's summer! Time for golf tournaments and friendly competition on nearly every course in the United States - and that's more than 16,000 golf courses.

This year you can be more than a sponsor or a participant. You can be an enabler, with Hone-in-One coverage from USLI. Sure, there's an opportunity to earn some commissions, but many top agents use special events coverage as a door opener to bigger commercial business.

Many of the people who run golf tournaments run businesses that need insurance. Help them out with Hole-in-One coverage and put yourself in position for more and bigger business. 

USLI coverage can be quoted stand-alone or - coming soon - as a special event package with general liability and liquor liability for golf tournaments.

Special Features - We've added some extra features that will set you apart from the competition:

• If a participant makes a hole-in-one, our plan will pay an additional 20 percent of the prize value to the charity of the winner's choice
• Unlimited prize restoration
• Available as monoline or with special event coverage with general liability and liquor liability (coming soon)
• Additional insureds can be included at no extra charge
• Ladies permitted to shoot from the regular ladies' tee box

Eligibility - Follow these simple rules:

• Hole yardage must be at least 125 yards for ladies and 150 yards for men
• Prize value up to $50,000 per hole
• No practice shots, mulligans or substitute shots
• No professional golfers participating
• Witness requirements based on prize value

Use Broker of Record Letter to Keep Clients Happy

Have an insured who likes the policy, but not the agent? Want to move all of a client's policies to one broker? A broker of record letter provides the perfect solution.

This can be a delicate situation, but the bottom line is you must keep the client satisfied. We're here to help you do that.

If you have a policy with one of the many carriers we write for, and would like to move it to our agency, simply send in the following information 10-60 days before the effective date of the policy:

• A signed request from the insured on the insured's letterhead. Must have the same wording as BOR sample letter shown here.
• Completed and signed ACORD applications for ALL lines of business to be transferred.
•  MUST have the effective date of the policies and MUST be submitted PRIOR to the effective renewal date.
