HOW WE WORK
Our skilled sales force of Business Development Representatives (BDRs) located throughout the U.S. provides a wide variety of services to both our producers and their customers. Each BDR services their own territory, giving them a deep understanding of the specific business environment and risk exposures in their area, and enabling them to identify new opportunities and establish relationships with producers, customers, prospects and local associations.
Value-added services for both wood-industry producers and customers
Our BDRs inspect the premises of all prospective insureds.
BDRs create competitive programs tailored for each client based using industry expertise and firsthand knowledge of the account.
Representatives visit most customers on an annual basis to review coverages, make recommendations, and answer any questions they may have.
BDRs meet with producers on an ongoing basis to discuss current and prospective clients. We also consistently look to create new relationships with producers across the United States.
Each BDR attends local industry trade shows and outings to maintain involvement and to keep current with changes in the lumber and building material industries.
Our representatives attend local producer shows and outings to familiarize the local brokerage community with the benefits of doing business with PLM through an open brokerage relationship.
