“Grip in and Risk it? Think again”
Grip, stance, backswing, downswing and tempo are the fundamentals of a golf swing according to those that know, Golf.com. Sure, a “grip it and rip it” approach might be quicker (and maybe more exciting), but without solid fundamentals, the results are unpredictable. The takeaway? Mastering the basics gives you the foundation to do more advanced things well.
The same principle applies in commercial insurance - particularly with Workers’ Compensation.
You can make your Work Comp customers desirable to an underwriter by helping them demonstrate these fundamentals:
These aren’t just checkboxes. They lead to tangible business benefits— lower employee turnover and better loss experience, which leads to lower mods and savings for the insured.
Lack of focus hurts a good round of golf. In the same way, new markets enter the Work Comp space regularly and offer shiny distractions. Without expertise in the claims/underwriting/risk management/audit functions, results can become unpredictable.
