Every contractor needs coverage
Roofers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies and cleaners all buy general liability, commercial auto, tools and equipment coverage, and often workers' compensation and bonds. Many are owner-operators who renew with whoever called them last. That's an opening.
How agents use JAYISAAC
- Choose a niche you can write well. Roofing and electrical are higher-risk classes with bigger premiums; cleaning and landscaping are high-volume.
- Search your licensed territory. "electricians in Phoenix" or "roofing companies in Toronto".
- Time it to renewals. Many trades renew ahead of busy season, so call in the quiet months. Our timing guide covers each trade.
- Open with a reason. "When did you last shop your commercial auto?" works better than "Can I quote you?"
