Winter or Summer: Don't forget to hydrate! 👷 🏜️

👷 Work Comp Insurance is a scam. Might as well light the money on fire! Or at least it can feel that way. Unless... You're working a plan. Yes, the fact that work comp insurance is required by law means it's more expensive than if we were operating in a truly free-market in which insurance carriers didn't have to insure companies with disastrous loss histories. But there is hope! ✔️ In the short-term, if you're challenged by a recent string of unfortunate employee injures and high EMOD... Working with an agency that has experience keeping contractors with high EMODs out of the Assigned Risk Pool (or State Fund in California) can save you a lot of money. ✔️ And if you have a plan and can be disciplined in following that plan over the long haul (i.e. years and decades, not months or a single policy period), you'll have even more control in negotiating terms and pricing at renewal time. The Mahoney Group can help in the short-term. Even better, The Mahoney Group can help you create and execute a long term strategy to drive your EMOD down to it's very lowest possible. Low EMODs mean discounted premium. Really low EMODs make you eligible for captive insurance solutions (i.e. you start playing the work comp game like the business elite!). Want to learn more?

👷 What about your first day had you questioning your decision? 🤣

🧨 Unpopular Opinion 💣 You'd get more done today if... If you just picked up the phone! 😱 A 60 second phone conversation can save you the time and effort of sending 10 emails back-and-forth. 😍 Pick up the phone. Even after having to make small-talk you'll be time ahead. Pick up the phone. You might just learn something about the person on the other end of the line. A little person-to-person connection will do you good. Pick up the phone. Even in the darkness of that deep dark cave from which you write emails and text messages, the person on the other end of the line might have the kind of bubbly personality that can brighten your otherwise sad and crumby day. Stop hiding in your cave. Stop writing unproductive emails and text messages that lack emotion. Pick up the phone. 😁 ✌️

Contractors... Control your Emod, control your premium! 😃🤘

👷 SOPs are important. From how to report an injury to the correct way of 'welcoming' a new member of the team. 🤣 In all seriousness, if you don't have systems you don't have a business. And the contractors who really have their systems dialed in operate safer and more profitable companies. They also have... 🛠️ Fewer Insurance Claims 🛠️ Less Expensive Claims 🛠️ Their Claims Close Out Quickly All of which means these contractors... 💰 Pay less in premium 💰 Run a more profitable businesses 💰 Can bid jobs more competitively (Higher Win-Rate!) If you want help making this a reality in your business, The Construction Practice Group within the Mahoney Group might be exactly what you're looking for! 😀 Giving contractors the confidence to face whatever lies ahead is something The Mahoney Group has to do since being founded in 1915 in a little desert town that has since been swallowed by the growth of the Ray Mine. We've been helping construction companies place insurance since the bringing and we'e been getting better at ever since. #riskmanagment #businessinsurance #safety

A bar of iron is worth $5. Made into horseshoes it's worth $12. Made into needles it's worth $3,500. Made into balance springs for watches it's worth $300,000. Your own value is determined by what you make of yourself. 🙂 Choose wisely!

SOME PEOPLE: The glass is half full. 😁 OTHER PEOPLE: The glass is half empty. 😥 ENGINEER: F#@k! We built it 2x the size we needed! 🤬 SALESMEN: Doesn't matter - While you were arguing I sold it! 🤑
