Congratulations to Lisa Torres-Rodriguez - First Gold Level Rewards Member

Firstly, thank you to our agents and CSRs who have participated in the rewards program – we appreciate your business and the trust that you put in us to get it placed efficiently and competitively.

Lisa Torres-Rodriguez from Time Insurance Agency in Austin is Insurors Indemnity Companies first Gold Level qualifier. Having qualified for Gold Lisa is now eligible for a $75 rewards card for every 10 commercial bond issues!

On Friday I interviewed Lisa to get her take on the rewards program as well as the commercial surety bond program she is in charge of for Time Insurance Agency. Below are some excerpts from our interview:

Tell me a little bit about you and your agency?

Our agency was established over fifty-one years ago and is currently owned by John Schuler. Time Insurance is one of the largest surety agents in the State of Texas.  Not only do we have a large bonding program, but offer other insurance products as well. I came to work for Time seventeen years ago as an administrative assistant, not knowing anything about surety.

I first started working on the contract surety side of the department and moved into commercial surety several years later and I absolutely love it  – I like that everything is so unique with commercial bonds and I get to interact with so many different people.

What do you like about the rewards program?

I was really surprised to be the first Gold Rewards Member – during the last rewards program Insurors ran I was so close but just missed getting an Ipad. With this program I have been able to work hard for our clients and like the fact that I am recognized for that effort.

What are some of the things you have used the rewards for?

I love buying gifts for my family and am planning on using my rewards for a Father’s Day gift for my husband.

Last question – what are some of the market trends you are observing with commercial bonds?

There appears to be more bonding requirements for contractors. We have seen a strong increase over the last year and this seems to reflect a pick-up in construction, especially in Austin. One new thing I am seeing is an increase in the number of probate bonds we are placing as well.

Congratulations to Lisa - IIC looks forward to welcoming our next group of Gold Level Members.
