A time I made a mistake that cost my company money was I had a deadline for a request for a proposal for a client and during this process one of the carriers was outside of the deadline that I gave them and so I brought this up to the account manager and the account manager said well have you looked at the proposal and I said it's it's a competitive proposal do you want me to spread this if you want me to spread this please keep in mind that this is going to push back the deadline of this or this is going to push back the completion deadline of this project because it's it's going to have to be re-peer-reviewed and I'm not sure when I can get it peer-reviewed and we wanted it to be completely clean for our client and so this account manager said yes go ahead and spread it let me talk to the producer and the client and see what we can do now this client was particularly picky in this deadline because while they wanted to save the most money for their health insurance for their employees they they were adamant about this deadline and so they were quite upset with the producer and in our efforts to save this relationship with the client and make sure that we save them as much money as possible we did end up saving the relationship and they did end up getting the best bang for their buck and they switched carriers because of this deadline however it it made me more adamant with carriers moving forward to provide their deadlines or to provide their quotes before their deadline because it pushes my deadline back as well
