What is probate? Probate is the legal process that governs how a deceased person’s assets are distributed upon their death. One way to think about the probate process is that it acts as ‘the script’ for how things go after someone passes away.
Wondering why you haven’t received any quotes yet? Your surety bond application might have gone into manual review.
All surety bond applications must go through a review process before they can be approved. Manual review means that when your information was put into the AUS (Automated Underwriting System) the computer wanted a second opinion to make an approval. The second opinion is a human, the manual underwriter.
Money transmitters are held to a high standard because they are expected to handle their clients’ money responsibly and in accordance with their state laws and guidelines. Every state other than South Carolina and Montana require money transmitters to obtain a Money Transmitter Bond before they can start doing business.
UPDATE: On June 6, 2016 the South Carolina Anti-Money Laundering Act took effect. This act requires South Carolina money transmitters to now get licensed and bonded before they can start doing business.
If you are an online retailer and you accept payments online (such as Paypal and Amazon) you are most likely required to secure a Money Transmitter Bond.
Online reviews do matter. Before giving 8 ways to respond to a negative online review, here are a few do’s and dont’s to follow:
Make sure to regularly evaluate your online reviews so you can recognize patterns. Are you getting a lot of great reviews about your email response speed? Awesome. Make sure you lean on that strength; make your email address accessible for future clients. Get a negative online review? It could just be an outlier. Get many negative online reviews that all comment on how you never return calls? Maybe it’s time to investigate and figure out how to manage your voicemail.
Before responding to any review—good or bad—make sure to pause. Consider how replying to a single review will look to others. Will you continue to respond to all reviews, or just the bad ones? Make sure you remain consistent across all media platforms so that your customers don’t think their review didn’t get seen. If it is a bad review, make sure to have a level head before replying.
