Adding a Teen Will Nearly Double Parents’ Insurance Bill
It’s normal for parents to start worrying when their teens get old enough to drive – but wondering whether they’ll be safe is only one of the reasons. Adding a teen to the family car insurance policy is another reason to start fretting, as it could nearly double what parents already are paying, according to a new study.
On average, premiums will rise about 80%, according to a new study by insuranceQuotes.com. But the increase is likely to run an average 92% for a teenage male. The increases vary widely, depending upon state, averaging as little as 17% in Hawaii, and as much as 115% in New Hampshire, the study revealed.

In an Era of Rising Customer Expectations, How Does Your Company Compare?
By Jeofey Bean
If The American Customer Satisfaction Index were to measure your business, competitors and alternatives, how would you do in an era of rising customer expectations and no middle ground?
As you may know from reading this column I really admire the companies that know what they “Do For” customers that is highly valued and have the results to show for it.
And I am dismayed about the companies that reside on the other side, the dark side, of the Do For coin. These companies consistently “Do To” customers things that they dislike and do not value, erasing customer loyalty.
Some of these companies have done this for so long and so poorly they are helping to grow competitive alternatives by distressing their customers emotionally and economically. There’s plenty to learn about what not to do from these businesses.
