One must offset the price of the premiums.

Anybody who uses insurance as a reason to hire me is playing Russian Roulette with that "bullet".

Folks

Forgive me if I ahve got it wrong as I have scanned this post. It appears from my scanning that there is some confusion as to why we negotiated a zero deductable.

The argument we put forward to FREA for a zero deductible was that CMI’s have far fewer claims. I don’t know many, actually any, veteran inspectors that have been sued! The benefit is for the inspector individually not a marketing tool! FREA can afford this zero deductible if it applies to true CMI inspectors!

Just got back from being with Nick and the gang, so its late and I’m ready to sleep.

Will update more tomorrow.

Dale, no one is going to hire you on the sole basis that you are insured, just like no one is going to hire you because you put pictures in your report or because you are a CMI or anything else solely.

It is only when you package them all together and market yourself as a superior product offering a superior service relative to your potential client's other choices... do more clients begin to choose you.

No one buys a car just because it has mag wheels, yet they still put them on cars.

Hey, Michael-
A distinctly Guiness twist to your words there, my friend!

Michael and I have some other exclusive benefits coming soon too. This one could only be acquired for CMIs because the underwriter would only give this deal to CMIs, no one else.

I've already come up with another way to exploit CMI for marketing purposes: Call yourself a no-deductible inspector... which means that the quality of your inspection service is so high that, unlike other inspectors, your E&O insurance company gives you a zero deductible.

This would be used if you have E&O insurance and are competing with inspectors who don't or who do but don't have a zero deductible.

Delete the bold and your all set Nick.

But...FREA's insurance is so out of whack price wise, it wouldn't make sense to have it unless they paid you $2,000.00 per claim and then paid the claim also...!

There prices are bizarre to say the least.

Michael , what about the "not so" veterans that joined immediately? Do you remember all the threads?

You have to shop rates. My experience is similar to that of Dale's in regards to FREA being more expensive. I will check again, but I believe that the immediate difference in premiums is so significant as to outweigh the financial benefit of no deductible (especially if no claims are filed.)

How about offering life memberships in NACHI ( for a fee ) To CMIs

[Joseph T. Burkeson, CMI]

The greater profession is speaking out in regards to FREA's decision to acknowledge CMI's as superior inspectors, you might want to join in the conversation.
