The general counsel for our Asian operations was a very impressive man. He was among the first 400 attorneys licensed in China following the death of Chairman Mao Zedong. Later, he also obtained a law degree in the United States and became licensed to practice in Ohio. He did an extraordinary job supporting our businesses in China, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he strongly advocated ethical business practices both internally and with our Intermediaries. So, I was very interested in witnessing first hand his annual anti-corruption training program for 40 of our largest third-party distributors in China who we had assembled in a hotel ballroom in Shanghai.

But as he droned on in a monotone for 45 minutes, I knew for certain that the training session failed to have the desired effect.

With a variety of product types depending on a business’ industry and needs, insurance can be confusing for many business owners and executives.

“The reason you’re buying insurance is to provide protection from claims,” explained Brad Pearce, chairman, A&H Insurance. “So you want an insurance carrier that provides excellent claim service and excellent coverage.”

That sounds simple enough, even when addressing the complicated subject of business insurance. However, the most common mistake business owners make when shopping for insurance is looking at price rather than product.

There are a lot of different plans and policies available for a lot of different prices. “What you’re really seeking is someone that has financial solidarity as well as enhanced coverages if available at a reasonable price,” said Pearce. “It’s not one size fits all.”
