PHOENIX, ARIZ. – Insurance expiration dates are approaching for many of the estimated 59,000 self-storage facilities in the United States. Now is the time for agents to learn how to address these risks and be prepared when self-storage operations choose to shop their commercial insurance coverage. New insurance producers are invited to participate in a free webinar on September 29, 2009, to learn how to grow their sales writing self-storage risks. Presented by MiniCo Insurance, a national leader in the self-storage industry for 35 years, the webinar New Producers: Accelerate Your Sales Through Self‑Storage will address topics to include the following:
