Where I work, it’s common. We did a shoot in Beverly Hills and the city demanded they be listed as an additional insured on our policy. Our agent was able to do this no problem in less than 24 hours.
You’re right, of course, Mark. I was ready to, too, until I found myself turned into a real sucker when he apologized- he sounded very sincere and heartfelt.
I agree, Mark- and I plan on writing a note about it to the entity. If I don’t get a response, I’ll go higher up.
The three awards listed… I think that’d call ’em out a bit too much for my comfort, but I will say I have never heard of one of them, and only heard of another a few months ago.
>>In an opposite experience, I once lost a bid because we UNDERBID the competition by $200,000. The commercial agency felt we must have left SOMETHING out. And we even padded our bid by 100%.<<
Been there, too. Learning fast, though 🙂
