10. Opportunities to Outsell the Competition:
Do you know which problems are producing pain?
• Bring your technical expertise to CEOs and CFOs by
identify the exposures facing their business.
• Highlight your process to uncover and address their risk
exposures. (Do they see these as pain producing?)
• Your buyer wants results (save time, money, increased
coverage). Position loss control beyond activities.
Clients have to buy insurance. They get
to decide if they want to invest in safety.

11. Why Organizations Invest in Safety

2. “Right Thing to Do”

13. 1. Identifying the risk maturity of prospects and clients.
2. Analyzing where they need to be to meet/exceed
underwriting standards.
3. Evaluate what services will put them in the best
position relative to “risk transfer” first then determine
capabilities to progress to “risk management”.
This puts your team in a position to help your clients and
“sell safety” only to those clients who are buyers.

15. Safety Maturity
“We like to think that all 10,523 of our employees
are safety professionals – as we invest both the
skills and responsibilities in each of them to
ensure the proper application of safety principles
for every operation, every day,”

hygiene and loss prevention

18. What Basic Clients “Needs to Know”
(These are not safety buyers)
• These clients are having bigger problems than just
safety. You need to help them be insurable first.
• Producer’s Dilemma
– Connecting safety to perceived issues?
– Motivating busy client to make time for safety
presentation?
– Time/expense to bring in-house safety pro to meeting?
– Will effort to sell safety take client beyond their readiness?
– Will buyer be handing off safety discussion to HR, Facilities,
etc.?
– How will the safety activities translate to results?

Notes de l'éditeur
Why should you care about enterprise risk management? What’s the value? Well, what are some of the risks that might keep a hospital’s senior management and board awake? Who manages these various risks? What about those that span the various functional management areas?
Enterprise risk management seeks to balance strategic value creation in seeking positive opportunities with the tactics used to protect assets in order to avoid negative consequences across the scope of activities – both external and internal - that may affect the organization’s objectives. In doing so, it bridges the gaps that are found in typical approaches.
