“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”

As an executive vice president at RT Specialty – Chicago, and part of the McCann/Jackson Casualty Team, Paul Jackson that has specialized in high hazard, distressed, and difficult-to-place risks, where he focuses on creating innovative insurance solutions.
“My strongest professional quality is consistency,” he says. “Showing up every day, working hard to solve problems for our clients. Consistently being available for our clients and never wavering from our goal of providing high-level service and expertise.”
Starting with the firm in 2010, Jackson has built a reputation as one of the most respected surplus line brokers in the industry, his expertise includes:
- discontinued product
- product recall
- environmental
- transportation
- manufacturing
- public entity
- real estate
- construction
“Having expertise in your client’s business is extremely important. To understand their needs, you have to be able to understand and articulate both solutions and foreseeable problems.”
As demonstrated by his extensive speciality knowledge, Jackson was initially attracted to casualty for its breadth of opportunity.
“What attracted me to this specialism and what allows me to be successful in this area is opportunity. There is such a tremendous opportunity in this business if you work hard and do the right thing. Every day we have an opportunity to improve and be better at our area of expertise and the opportunity to provide better results for our clients.”
Over the course of his career, Jackson has received a number of accolades, including:

Reflecting on what it means to provide best-in-class services to clients, Jackson emphasizes the importance of consistency and mistake-free execution.
“As a high-level broker, saying no isn’t an option. We have to solve problems for our clients and perform at the top level every day. It takes years to build a relationship, but only takes one mistake to break the relationship.”
For Jackson, the key to maintaining long-term client relationships is a strong work ethic and transparency.
“Hard work and consistency create opportunity. Clients are looking to build relationships and partnerships with people they trust. Being honest and authentic about who you are is crucial in this relationship building. Once you’ve created the trust and partnership, working hard and solving problems for your client is easy and rewarding. Clients can feel the difference in our service, speed, and expertise.”
