Dear [contact-first_name],

Barney & Barney Honored as 2006 "Commercial Insurance Agency of the Year" by National Underwriter

It's a wonderful thing when vision and hard work pay off. We're very proud to announce our selection as the 2006 "Commercial Insurance Agency of the Year" by National Underwriter, the leading publisher of print, e-media, reference and software products for the insurance and financial services industries. This is indeed a prestigious honor.

Of course, it means a lot to us. But what does it mean to you?

Our unique expertise combines the resources of a national broker with the client service and attention of a firm focused on the needs of Southern California companies for nearly a century. These resources include sophisticated exposure analysis, an expert loss control team, claims advocacy, and client training to help avoid problems before they arise. In short, it's managing risk, not reacting to crises, that makes the crucial difference.

We take the long-term view of risk management, because we firmly believe it represents by far the best value for our clients. And it can actually result in 10-25% fewer losses with reduced overall exposure and the lowest net cost of insurance.

Through our new monthly enewsletter, we look forward to bringing you timely and valuable information on commercial insurance from a risk management viewpoint. We'll cover best practices for creating a "culture of safety." And we will introduce you to proven approaches for increasing the return on your risk management investment.

Sincerely,

Travis Trask
