Building on a current strength, Risk Placement Services Inc. (RPS) aims to give agent and broker clients more local access to its broad array of product offerings in 2011, according to the leader of the nationwide specialty brokerage.
“What RPS has set out to do over the next few years is to be in a position to provide independent agents and brokers—both large and small—a smorgasbord of everything that we do,” Joel Cavaness, president of RPS, told NU in a recent interview, sharing a strategy aimed at leveraging a competitive edge of product diversity.
“The goal is to make it all available…in every place we operate—standard lines, small surplus lines business, large surplus lines, and any of the various programs that we offer—to put that in such a way under one house in various parts of the country so agents are able to access all parts of RPS, not just one,” he said.
