The NASBP Producer Communications Toolkit 2.0 has a wealth of resources for NASBP bond producers to use to convey the importance of construction surety bonds. Many of these can be incorporated into client presentations, including handouts, videos, and more. Listed below is just a sampling of the many resources in the Toolkit 2.0.

Myths vs Facts: Payment Bond Mythbusters
Presenting to a group that already has a foundation of knowledge about surety? Including some of these payment bond “myths” and the corresponding “facts” from this article into a presentation can help lead to a better understanding of the surety process and exceptions that may happen for project stakeholders.

A Successful Succession Plan Starts with a Strong Surety Partnership
If a client is considering a leadership transition, it is imperative to make a presentation to the client (and future leaders, if possible) about the importance of maintaining the company’s surety program. This article discusses four areas contractors should focus on to keep a strong surety program, and it could be a great jumping off point for a presentation and discussion.

Flyer about the Contractor Bonding Education and Mentoring Program  
This flyer can easily be shared during a presentation or as a follow-up afterwards for attendees who would benefit from the free Contractor Bonding Education and Mentoring program, which helps new and emerging contractors learn how to qualify for surety bonds.

The Benefits of Surety Bonds to Lenders
When presenting to lenders, a producer may want to convey that requiring surety bonds on bank-financed construction projects will help ensure a successful project, protect investments, and enhance the lender’s reputation in the community. This slide presentation hits each of those points.

These are just some of the valuable, free resources in the NASBP Producer Communications Toolkit 2.0 to help bond producers promote the surety product to construction project stakeholders, including project owners nasbp.org/guaranteed/owner, lenders nasbp.org/guaranteed/lender, architects nasbp.org/guaranteed/architect, and contractors nasbp.org/guaranteed/contractor.
