Corporate Update for the Leeward Group, Inc.
07 Septembre 2010 - 12:30PM
Leeward Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Principle
Security International Inc. (OTCBB:PCPZ), announced today a few of
its corporate objectives for the next 12 months.
-Be in the Top 30% of All Independent Insurance Agencies
in the United States:
We believe that scale provides an advantage to an insurance
agency because it allows them to offer more products and services
to their clients. This typically results in more
sales. As such, our goal is to be in the Top 30% of all U.S.
independent agencies within the next 12 months. Based on a
2008 study by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of
America, 68% of the independent insurance agencies sampled have
$1.25 Million or less in Commission Income. Leeward Group
finished 2009 with over $10 million in premiums and over $1 million
in commission income.
-Double the size of our Franchised Hotel/Motel Umbrella
Program:
We have developed a niche umbrella product designed for
franchised, limited-service hotels & motels. Within the
next 12 months, our goal is that this will become a national
program and that sales in the program will double
(year-over-year).
-Substantially Increase our Association and Affinity
Insurance Business:
Association/Affinity business is an attractive market segment
for insurance because it enables you to economically market niche
products to a homogeneous group. By leveraging our existing
association platform, the Company is looking to grow this business
by adding new Association clients. Along those lines, the
Company is currently in discussions with two national associations
and several State and regional associations to bring them various
insurance products.
-Increase Health Insurance Sales:
The sale of Health insurance represents an area of potential
growth for the Company. In 2009, Group Health insurance
premiums in the U.S. reached nearly $600 Billion. In that same
period, the Company derived less than 5% of its total revenue from
this segment. The Company is looking to grow premiums in this
sector by 50% to 100% over the next 12 months. We aim to do
this by cross-selling into our existing Property-Casualty client
base and also by adding online quoting capabilities.
-Target Sales to the Hispanic Market:
The demographics of the Hispanic market are attractive from a
growth perspective. The Company acquired a niche agency in
late 2009 that specializes in the Hispanic market and we are
allocating resources to grow this segment via tailored
marketing.
