The Jacobson Group’s Post

It starts with great people

If you or someone you know are trying to figure out what to study in college or looking for a career change – I would highly recommend insurance. It’s a stable, in-demand industry with unlimited growth potential. This Insurance Business America article with my colleague Rich Gobler provides great insight into Burns & Wilcox and how we support professional development. #career #insurance #professionaldevelopment #teamburnsandwilcox

😲LOOK WHAT I FOUND! Nominate someone who has 35+ years in the insurance industry for the Insurance Business America Hall of Fame: "Do you know an insurance industry leader, innovator, entrepreneur, or mentor who has developed a standout career? Nominate them to be featured in Insurance Business America's eighth annual Hall of Fame report, celebrating leading insurance professionals who have excelled in the industry for decades." 🌟🌟🌟Let's DO this. Think of just one person, maybe a mentor, maybe a past manager, a colleague, whose career has touched others, brought results, created something fabulous. And NOMINATE them. 📜📜📜 A few days ago, I read Ken Jordan's post about mid-career and late career professionals. Folks in their 40's, 50's and beyond, and how there is a lack of celebration of this cohort. Not in an Everyone-Gets-A-Trophy 🏆 way, but more like "hmmm, we've got 35 Under 35, Young Insurance Professionals, 40 Under 40" - where is that celebration of the next phase? Well, it's right here. Thank you #IBA #HallofFame! https://lnkd.in/gC6_rW6M [Link to Ken's post is in comments - the algorithm does not shine as brightly on direct "shares".]

Good morning everyone! 🤗 Exciting news to share as we wrap up the week! I'll be starting a weekly newsletter on commercial business insurance. Education is valuable to a large part of my network, and there are many interesting facets of insurance to explore. #DIDYOUKNOW❗️ Insurance companies often review an applicant’s socials (YES, #INSTA) to determine if they are willing to accept #YOUR business as a new risk? Factors such as mitigations in place to limit exposures, continuous employee education & SOPs, branding/website development ALL play into the decisions of the coverages/premiums offered by many insurance companies. Next week, we'll cover this #VITAL topic for both #NEW & #EXISTING businesses to explore. If you have any other topic suggestions you'd like me to touch on, please feel free to message me. I'd love to hear from you! I am #AVAILABLE for a consult 📆 to address any questions. I'd also like to take a moment to thank those in my existing network who messaged me taking an interest in my new role @ the #agency. To my #NEW connections, I look forward to having the opportunity to grow a relationship and learn more about how we can help each other! P.S. - If you are looking to develop stronger #brandawareness and #recognition within the #Medford area I have an invaluable connection for you! I will share more about her in my upcoming #Newsletter AND if you’re in #Medford you already know she’s #awesome 🤗❤️ Have a great weekend everyone! #GIVER #FREECONSULTFRIDAY #ETHICALFIXER.

Winning Happens in a Community, Failure Happens in Isolation Throughout my career, one lesson has become abundantly clear: winning happens in a community, and failure happens in isolation. Whether in my 30 years in advertising and marketing or now as a licensed insurance agent with Liberty Mutual, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of collaboration and support. When I think about the journey of our customers, it becomes even more apparent. Navigating the complexities of insurance can be daunting, but at Liberty Mutual, we believe no one should have to go through it alone. From the initial consultation to finding the right policy and providing ongoing support, our mission is to be there for our clients every step of the way. Community is the cornerstone of our approach. We listen, we understand, and we act in the best interests of those we serve. By building strong, lasting relationships, we ensure our clients are not just protected, but also confident and empowered. It’s in these connections that we find innovative solutions and celebrate each milestone together. In contrast, isolation can lead to uncertainty and setbacks. Without a trusted partner or network, challenges can seem overwhelming and progress can be hindered. This is why we strive to foster an environment where support and collaboration are paramount. Liberty Mutual, with over 100 years of history, embodies this commitment to community. Our legacy is built on the belief that we are stronger together, and our customers’ success stories are a testament to this. We stand by our clients, providing the guidance and assurance they need to navigate life’s uncertainties. As we continue to build these meaningful connections, let’s remember that our collective efforts lead to shared victories. Winning happens in a community, and failure happens in isolation. Together, we can achieve remarkable things and create a brighter, more secure future for everyone. #Community #CustomerJourney #Success #Teamwork #LibertyMutual #Insurance #Support #Collaboration
