Tweetable Quotes:

• “In a perfect world, you take the comp first before you take the rest of the account. You can show the results with comp that you can create in a way that is dramatically different from any other type of insurance.” - Kevin Ring
• “Insurance buyers and insurance agents have been trained that your comp, is comp, is comp and there's nothing to do about it. This leads to a tremendous opportunity for agents who understand how worker's compensation works to go in and if you can get the whole thing it's fantastic.” - Kevin Ring
• “We're big believers in the idea that you're communicating this upfront. It helps take some of the fear out of the workers’ comp system while also making it very clear that workers comp is not there to be taken advantage of.” - Kevin Ring
