The number is a signal—not the whole story
Identify which losses drove the worksheet, what remains open, what changed, and whether the immediate need is understanding the calculation, satisfying a contract, or finding coverage.

Keep the client. Add a specialist path for difficult workers’ compensation.
A retail producer should be able to recognize the opportunity, understand whether it deserves a conversation, gather the right information, preserve the client relationship, and move to a clear next step without guessing.
Establish why and when coverage ends
Capture the carrier’s reason, the effective date, what has changed, and which markets have already reviewed the account before sending it everywhere.
Start with the exact cancellation reason
Nonpayment, audit issues, reporting problems, underwriting action, or a change in exposure can require different clocks, documents, and next steps.
Exact dates and operating facts matter
Explain why the gap occurred, whether employees worked during it, payroll and incidents in the period, and the coverage immediately before and after.
Replace “bad losses” with evidence
Explain what happened, why it happened, what changed, when corrective action occurred, and what evidence supports the current account story.
A second look may be useful
Residual-market coverage serves an important purpose. A changed operation, stronger information, or a different risk profile may create a reason to review another available path.
Experience and controls replace missing history
Management experience, contracts, projected payroll, actual operations, safety processes, and the requested effective date become more important when prior loss history is unavailable.
Precision beats broad class labels
Describe what employees do, where they do it, payroll by class, travel and subcontracting, loss history, and the controls surrounding the work.
Use the decline as information
Record who declined, why, what information the carrier reviewed, and which other markets or wholesalers have already seen the account.
WHY PARTNER
Another capability before you walk away from the account
The value is not another generic appointment or an undifferentiated market. It is a producer-to-producer capability for diagnosing, preparing, and presenting a live difficult-workers’ compensation account.
- Defend an existing client relationship when workers’ comp becomes difficult
- Create a new-business wedge into accounts another producer cannot solve
- Build a repeatable specialty around difficult industries and coverage events
- Get submission support before confidential files enter a secure process
THE ACCOUNT STORY
The class is only the beginning
A roofer with a clean history is not the same problem as a roofer with a high mod and a non-renewal. A new trucking venture is not the same file as an established fleet with deteriorating losses. Start with the situation, then the class, state, payroll, loss history, controls, and available evidence.
HOW IT WORKS
A simple specialist path
A complete file moves better than a file built on assumptions.
- Send the opportunity and explain what is happening
- Review class, state, payroll or premium, mod and loss context, coverage status, and timing
- Identify what information or evidence is missing
- Develop the next available path or give a clear disposition
CHANNEL TRUST
Your client relationship matters
When a retail agent brings the account, that person stays connected while the specialist relationship helps move the opportunity forward.
START WITH THE OPPORTUNITY
A live account can begin the relationship
You should not have to wait for a long generic process merely to ask whether a live account deserves review. Start with the opportunity; an authorized professional can confirm the current contracting and appointment mechanics if the relationship progresses.
FOR EMPLOYERS
Keep your current agent involved
If you already have an insurance agent, bring that person into the conversation. If not, WorkComp Finder can help identify an appropriate retail connection.
RESOURCES
Prepare the account and take the next step
Use the problem guides to organize the facts, then send the live opportunity when you are ready.
