Honestly Rosy,
You sound supper cocky considering that this situation is very serious. For one, a claim could have easily happened during this time and would you be in a position to pay several thousand dollars out of pocket (ex. a fire). All I have heard are defensive excuses and pride with comments about how you provide the best service. I don't think this is a time to talk about how great your service is when untold # of policy holders have cancelled policies, have paid money directly to you and it was all found out by a resort or client calling the carrier. Thus it leads to the question... how long as this been going on for? Making light that the amount we are talking about is not much... does not bode well for you.
1. I guess you'd prefer groveling, but I have no reason to believe that anything was done intentionally to harm anyone. I intend to find out, though. I am already doing all that I can to make things right with my clients, and I have expressed more than once that the responsibility lies with me. Every payment ever made for a policy has been recorded in the client file. Employees aren't allowed to hand me cash without my signing for it, so there's a paper trail.
2. You can be sure that if there'd been a claim for "several thousands of dollars", I'd be considerably less "cocky", but there wasn't. I can still state that we've not had ANY claim go unpaid.
3. There is no pride or defensiveness when I say we screwed up. I'm extremely relieved that the number of policies here is relatively minor.
4. While I often speak of the service we offer at ProAlliance, in this case I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to the fact that when we write a condo policy it includes coverage for interior walls, ceilings and floors, making it a superior policy than others.
5. "UNTOLD #S"??? I told you the numbers. Had the resort called me directly we would've initiated the same audit and made the same corrections.
6. I have mentioned that our guy in Chihuahua, Ing. Luis Zapien died last year. This forced us into a new way of doing things. We never had a problem before and I don't expect to have one in the future.
7. There's a big difference between explanations and excuses, Licenciado. Errors were made in my business and those errors are costing me. What more do you want? I'm not making light of anything, but I'm too old to think my life is over because we made a (ok 12) mistake. Nothing about this situation "bodes well", but it isn't the first problem I've faced in life, nor is it the biggest. I will handle this like I handle everything...chin up. Anything else?
