Have you enrolled in the new and improved Instant Incentives™ program yet? It’s quick and easy to set up, and you’ll be rewarded for every qualifying policy you write. Here’s how to start cashing in.

1. Enroll. Log in using your Liberty Mutual ID and accept the terms and conditions. You’ll then be prompted to connect your PayPal account. Please note: even if you participated in the old Instant Incentives using cash codes, you’ll still need to enroll in the new program.
2. Activate your offers. Once enrolled, activate every cash offer you’re eligible for. The easiest way is to bookmark the Instant Incentives site and check back often for new offers.
3. Issue qualifying policies. Only policies issued after offer activation count toward your Instant Incentives earnings, so be sure to activate your offers.

To make things even easier, producers or account managers with multiple Liberty Mutual IDs will only need to enroll one of them and the rest will automatically be enrolled.

Enroll and activate now to start earning your instant cash.

If you’re looking for inspiration this season — and aren’t we all? — your fellow independent agents have you covered. To close 2022 on a grateful note, we’ve gathered stories and advice from agents across the country to create a celebration called “12 Days of Agent Stories.”

These stories are based on a survey we conducted in which agents were asked to share business tips, personal advice and other pearls of wisdom. And we’re sharing some of their responses in 12 installments that will run December 5-20. To read them, visit the Liberty Mutual LinkedIn or Facebook pages.

After you read each story, we want to hear from you, too! So visit the pages daily and share your thoughts and experiences to keep the inspiration going.

Congratulations to Hickok & Boardman on its 200th anniversary! As the oldest agency in Vermont, it’s both an industry and community leader, helping dozens of local nonprofits over the years. Most notably, it has supported the United Way of Northwest Vermont for more than 75 years, raising more than $2 million in the process — a distinction that earned the agency a Lifetime Achievement Award from the United Way in 2014.

“We’re honored to have partnered with Hickok & Boardman for more than 20 years,” said Carl Canales, regional field executive with Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance. “The agency’s longstanding support of the United Way of Northwest Vermont demonstrates its commitment to the community and displays the character of the entire organization.”

Kudos to CEO Scott Boardman and all the staff of Hickok & Boardman on this impressive achievement. We look forward to many more years of client support and partnership.

Make More Happen™ Awards follow a simple premise: you give, we give. Volunteer your time, energy and resources to your favorite nonprofit, and you could earn that nonprofit a $10,000 grant!

While the premise remains simple, the pandemic changed everything. No matter how you showed up for your nonprofit – whether virtual or otherwise – we encourage you to apply.

Apply for a Make More Happen Award if you:

• attended a virtual board meeting, fundraiser or other event
• attended a socially distant or outdoor event
• donated money or resources
• volunteered from home by packing supplies, writing letters, making phone calls, etc.
• have volunteered recently, or are working on plans to restart volunteering in the near future as restrictions are lifted
• can describe your pre-pandemic activity with a nonprofit and how you plan to continue working with that nonprofit in the future – older photos will be accepted

Did you get involved in another way not listed above? We encourage you to apply, too! Your commitment to community matters, and every little bit helps make a difference in someone’s life. Let us help you make more happen!

We’ve extended the Make More Happen application deadline to July 30! Apply to Make More Happen.
