OAHU Office Closed for the Holidays
The OAHU office will be closed from December 24th through January 5 so that the staff may spend the holidays with their families. Emails and phone messages will be checked periodically.
During this time, the OAHU staff will also be updating our email system. To achieve this, our email system will be down Sunday, December 28 and Monday December 29th. Please try not to send emails to the office on these two dates as they may be lost.
If you have an issue that requires immediate attention please email: jmbs@jmbs.biz as this email address will not be affected by the temporary shut down.
Happy Holidays to you and yours! ~ from your OAHU Staff

With the Compensation Consultants Inc. (CCI) Referral Program, OAHU Members can earn 31.25% commission on clients who qualify for and join a CCI workers’ comp group rating program – no property and casualty insurance license is required. And you can keep earning 31.25% commission for each year your clients are renewed in the group rating program. Furthermore, by participating in the program, you provide GCAHU and OAHU with revenue to help them fulfill their missions.
Now through January 31, 2009 is the prime time to enroll your clients in a CCI workers’ comp group rating program to save them up to 77% off their premiums for 2009.

In addition to your commission, the program is extremely easy to manage. You should participate in the program because:
1. It opens the door. By saving your clients significant money, you can create an environment to sell them other product lines.
2. Everyone benefits. All clients, regardless of size, can benefit from group rating and thousands of Ohio businesses are not currently enrolled in a group rating program.
3. It’s simple. Just have your clients complete an AC-3 (temporary authorization form), return them to us, and collect your commission on all qualified enrollees.
To enroll in the program e-mail Colleen Culp with CCI at colleen.culp@ccitpa.com.
CCI will provide you with a FREE Agent Product kit which will answer all of your questions about workers’ comp group rating and provide you with marketing materials. Click here for an Agent Product kit request form. |
