Should You Take Construction Insurance Advice From Your Barista?

There are people who can give you good Construction Insurance Advice and baristas are not among them. Or are they? Most of us wouldn’t give this a second thought.  What do baristas know about protecting your business from the dangers of the construction industry?

But hold on a minute. There’s a popular saying that you’ve seen on social media. Everyone you meet can teach you something. Let’s give baristas a chance. Maybe these professional coffee makers can give you some insight into insurance for your contractor business.

Trust the experts  

You trust your barista because they make a great coffee. But there’s more that goes into making that great cup of coffee than just flicking a switch on the coffee machine.  Baristas are trained in the art of coffee making. They have a wealth of knowledge. For instance, they know more about where the coffee beans are grown, where they are roasted, and why tamping makes all the difference than a contractor will ever know.

And yet, perhaps barista wisdom can also be applied to the task of choosing the right insurance company. You don’t want to waste your time finding an insurance company that you can trust. This will go a whole lot quicker with a checklist of what makes a service provider trustworthy.

Top barista skills your insurance company should also have

1. Caring Customer Service

Nothing builds trust better than customer service. Your favorite barista wants you to love your coffee.  Sometimes this means encouraging you to try a different roast. It’s their job to make it just how you like it. The best baristas know their regulars and are quick to give you a smile or a friendly greeting.

Let’s see if your insurance company measures up.

• When you call, are they ready to answer your questions and help you out?
• Do they know enough to provide construction insurance advice that is relevant to your trade?
• Have they insisted on customizing your insurance program based on your business needs?

2. Good Organization 

Baristas must be organized. They need to work quickly to meet the needs of customers who are always in a hurry. They don’t have the luxury of looking for more beans or running out of almond milk.

So, what’s this got to do with construction insurance advice?

• Does your insurance company value your time as much as you do?  Look out for this red flag:  they take ages to get back to you with quotations. The best insurance agents will have quotes back to you within minutes.
• Does your insurance company care about the cost of your insurance?
