“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”
Kelvin Rampersad,
Carte Wealth Management
Rikki Concannon got started in the insurance industry on the retail side. From 2012 to 2018, she worked as a commercial marketing manager at Sprowls Insurance Group, and from 2018 to 2019, she worked as a manager and new business marketing representative at CSC Insurance Options.
“My background as a commercial marketing manager and producer trainer on the retail side allows me to anticipate their needs and has offered me the ability to assist our broker-partners with their prospecting, submission and closing strategies,” she explains. “In the end, it’s about collaborating with our broker-partners to compile a quality submission that provides our underwriting team with the ability to review the account thoroughly in a timely manner.”
Currently, Concannon is putting her background to use as a senior brokerage relationships manager at Ascinsure Specialty Risk, an RPS Company, where she manages broker relationships and the brokerage team and engages in recruiting. All the while, she is the epitome of solution-oriented.
“I realize that our focus shouldn’t be what we offer but how we can assist our partners in solving a problem they are facing,” she says. “I aspire to be a resource to our broker-partners regardless of whether or not our programs can offer a solution.”
What’s more, Concannon is affiliated with the Target Markets Program Administrators Association, the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) and the Scaffold & Access Industry Association (SAIA). She has a BA in international business from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania and was certified as a project manager in 2021. This is also her second year in a row of being recognized as an IBA Top Specialist Broker.
Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, golfing and learning to make fondant icing for cakes. She is also learning American Sign Language.
A well-rounded individual, Concannon is bullish on the future.
“We plan to double the size of our programs as well as continue to expand our program appetite and offerings,” she says. “More so, I aspire to be even more of an educational and solution-oriented resource within the industries I serve, especially to the brokers within those industries. Specialized industries such as cranes and scaffolding face unique risks as well as ever-changing regulatory environments, so it’s extremely important to stay abreast of the challenges faced by our broker-partners and help guide them through the intricate challenges of the industry. To achieve this, I’m anticipating being an active and contributing member of industry-leading associations such as the SAIA and the SC&RA.”
That’s a lot of work. Luckily, it echoes Concannon’s favorite quote from Hollywood titan Samuel Goldwyn, “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
