NEW STATE MANDATES – WISCONSIN STATE LAW 28
American Insurance Agency

This past June, Governor Doyle chose to adopt mandates to Wisconsin motorists. These mandates include increased liability limits, stacking of policy liability limits, mandatory and increased uninsured motorist coverage and more. Effective November 11, 2009 many of these mandates go into effect and the insurance companies are forced to make these changes to your policy when it renews.

A summary of the changes that may affect your policies are:

1. Increase in Minimum Liability limits

2. Increase in Medical Payments Limit

3. Increase in Minimum Uninsured Motorist Coverage Limits

4. Mandatory Underinsured Motorist Coverage and Limits

5. Umbrella Coverage must cover Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist coverage unless rejected in writing.

The law also allows the stacking of Uninsured and Underinsured Liability limits with a cap of 3 vehicles per policy.

Please call today to find out how this is going to affect both your Commercial Auto and Umbrella policies and your Personal Auto and Umbrella policies. Patrise at American Insurance Agency will be happy to assist you in understanding how all of these new changes are going to affect you and the best way to protect yourself. Call Patrise at 414-529-4300 or email her at patrise@americanins-agency.com.

HEALTH INSURER OFFERS TWO YEAR RATE GUARANTEE!

The Rauser Agency

Reports of improving economic conditions are misleading. Most of us see the climb out of 'the great recession' as a long term proposition. So here's a bit of good news that might help with tight budgets.

Earlier this month WPS Health Insurance Company announced two year rate guarantees for businesses covered by their 'Patients Choice' Plans. This is a unique product line that is already priced on average 20% below other insurers in Southeastern Wisconsin. To be eligible for 'Patients Choice', businesses with between 2 and 50 employees must be a member of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce and be represented by a select few WPS agency partners who are also members of the MMAC. One such select agency is - of course - The Rauser Agency.


For more information and to obtain quotes for your business’ health coverage, contact Jon Rauser.

Lower Your Energy Bill

RIC Electric

In these tough economic times many business are looking for ways to reduce the fixed expenses such as energy consumption. There are many things that contribute to the amount of electricity you pay for each month. A couple of examples are what type of lighting you currently are using. Many of the older types of lightings cost twice as much to operate as the new style. When I say old I mean old technology.  I still see some new buildings being built with old technology.

Another example are air compressors. The newer style compressors draw much less energy and can reduce the amount of power to start the compressors which lower your electric bill. You may also be leaking air throughout your business which can cause the compressor to run more often than needed.

Now Is the time to look at ways to lower your energy bill. There are many rebate programs to help cover the cost to update. We offer a free analysis. Call us today at 262-880-2665 or 262-880-2695.

Action Coach

Action Coach

Mr. or Ms. Business Owner, I have an interesting question for you. How would you like to sell your goods and services and name your own price?

Focus on perceived uniqueness. Perceived uniqueness drives the value up. Rare treasures are worth more than common goods. Here’s how to create your uniqueness. Start asking your customers about their frustrations when dealing with your industry. For example, one of my coaching clients provides medical physicians that make house calls! Think about it! No office waiting time, no hassle and cost with transportation to the doctor’s office. They provide absolute personal medical care in your home! How about a dentist that guarantees no pain and a happy office? Consider the home remodeler that always shows up exactly on time, stays until the job is finished, and always leaves the work area immaculate? How can you create an amazing unique experience for your customers? The answer to that question will lead you to your pot of gold.

So go for it. Start to ask how you can create that WOW experience for your customer that will get them talking to all of their friends and family – regardless of your price.

Call or email today to set up a complimentary 1 hr. coaching session to see if ActionCoach can help you.

Quality Solutions

No matter how you evaluate it, downtime carries a gigantic price tag.

According to the Electric Power Research Institute, the U.S. economy loses between $104 billion and $164 billion to power outages each year and another $15 billion to $24 billion to power quality issues.

Furthermore, the annual downtime average for the utility grid is currently 8 hours, 45 minutes. However with on-site generators and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Systems) this downtime can be reduced by 98%.

Quality Power Solutions’ routine preventative maintenance programs appreciably reduce the likelihood that a UPS will drop its load.

In fact, customers without preventative maintenance visits are almost four times more likely to experience a UPS failure than those who complete the recommended two preventative maintenance visits per year.

UPS replacement parts Rules of Thumb:
1) Batteries: 3-5 years, (sealed type)
2) Fans: 5-7 years
3) DC & AC Caps: 8-10 years
4) Routine maintenance: 2 times per year

Remember: Batteries are the #1 cause of load loss in a UPS!

Quality Power Solutions can help you maintain your uptime with customized service plans; Contact Mike Finnegan for a free maintenance quote and evaluation: mfinnegan@qpsolutions.net or 608-661-9910.
