What is your role as it relates to Preferred?
As a Business Development Specialist my role is to solve problems for agents and assist them in growing their books of Preferred business. Internally, I work closely with our Services, Marketing, Underwriting and Claims teams to ensure that our agents and members are receiving the best service possible. I also keep agents, members and future members aware of relevant happenings, news and resources to ensure that they know we are constantly working for them.
What do you like best about working with Agents? Members? Your Team?
Building relationships with our agents. Client interactions are what get me up in the morning. Being able to not only satisfy but to make their jobs better is a great thing to be able to do. Delivering quality webinars and other relevant education to our members in an engaging way is something that I take a great deal of pride in. Our team is second to none. From Claims to Underwriting and Marketing to Loss Control – everyone is dedicated to serving our members and our agents.
What sets Preferred apart from other public entity insurance providers?
“Service is the heart of what we do” is not just a slogan at Preferred. We believe that our dedication to clients as well as our delivery of service and services are what sets us apart. We have more than 400 members that enjoy competitive pricing and unparalleled service and services.
What are the biggest challenges facing public entities in Florida?
Rate increases as a result of the current hard insurance market. As a large, established insurance Trust, Preferred offers competitive terms that are worth considering. Our unparalleled array of services, resources, and exemplary client service ensure that our customers get more value for what they are paying in premiums. We believe that once people see the value of Preferred membership, they will become a member and stay a member.
Senior Vice President at Public Risk Underwriters of Florida Kevin Meehan added: “Jeremy has become an indispensable resource for our agents. He is a problem solver who is completely dedicated to serving our clients. Any Preferred agent who wants to put Jeremy to work for them should reach out to him today. Jeremy is doing an outstanding job serving our members and bringing qualified prospective members into the Preferred boat.”
