Key Quotes:

• “We have this misconception about how we quote and we have a misconception as to the way we should quote. Sometimes it’s our own fault because we get comfortable with the agent we have.” – Jason Cass
• “When we started to figure out how to help organizations lower their workers comp, we looked at other industries and said, Who else has high work comp issues?” – Jason Cass
• “There’s only a 1 out of 6 chance that you’d have somebody get hurt and workers comp and that’s your biggest one. There’s a 230 to 1 chance that your building is going to burn down, but 2.7 to 1 that you’ll have a cyber attack.” – Jason Cass
