News & Views:Your Slice of the Pie

Newsletter – Thursday, September 1, 2016

They say our experiences shape us. I know this is true. I grew up in a family of six kids with 12 years separating myself and my oldest sister. I vividly remember the eight of us sitting down to dinner at the kitchen table almost every night. Sundays when my grandparents joined us we moved to the dining room! 

Meals were healthy but simple - I am quite sure my mother was a devotee of Betty Crocker's casserole meal plan. No one left the table hungry, but there were seldom leftovers unless mom was planning to re-purpose the main course later in the week. We were particularly fortunate in our family because no meal was complete without dessert. I am pretty sure this is because my dad has a sweet tooth. To this day everyone in the family knows his favorite dessert is white cake with chocolate icing - or is it chocolate cake with white icing?! While how big a piece I got compared to my sister was closely scrutinized, I always knew there'd be enough to go around. 

In the insurance business there are a lot of pies to take a slice from! Some are shrinking, others seem to be expanding, and new kinds of pie pop up regularly. Here at Tuscano we are all about helping you get your piece of the pie! One of my favorites is personal lines business because we have so much to offer: homeowners, dwelling fire, personal umbrella, motorcycle, high net worth products, and more. These markets are growing, and we are happy to be able to dish up great options for your customers. 

Tuscano has been writing personal umbrella for-practically-ever! I can't think of any reason to go anywhere else to place Personal Umbrella Business. We have three carriers, A-rated or better, who specialize in personal umbrella and offer both admitted and non-admitted options. We can quote young and old drivers, good and bad driving records, farms, high profile persons, and everything in between. At www.tuscano.com, you can get a quote for up to $5M limits with additional limits available as needed. It wouldn't be right for me to talk about personal umbrella, and not mention that Tuscano is the only wholesaler in PA with single sign-on access to RLI's sub-producer portal. Not only can you quote new RLI business in the portal, but you can request binding, set up applications for e-signature, and allow the customer to pay online. If you have ever needed an umbrella quote to round out a personal lines proposal, stop looking! We love PUB! 

So, pull up a chair up to the Tuscano table. It's where relationships are built, business gets done, and there's a piece of the pie just waiting for you. 

Happy Labor Day! Tuscano is closed on Monday but we'll be back at our desks ready to write your business on Tuesday morning!
