Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
How To Create A Fantastic Retail or E-tail Experience That Keeps
Bringing Customers Back For More Full description here
https://bit.ly/3qUdfUH
For the past decade we have witnessed the so called "Retail
Apocalypse". With huge retail players like Amazon, one of the
best ways for a retail brand to survive is by offering an
unparalleled retail experience that a customer can't get
anywhere else. But what exactly must you do to create such a
great experience? How does a retail outlet create brand loyalty
today?
We would like to interview CEOs, executives and business leaders
of retail companies who can talk from their experience about
'How To Create A Fantastic Retail or E-tail Experience That
Keeps Bringing Customers Back For More'
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 December
Query:
I am a freelance writer developing a journal feature article
about a possible insurance industry practice to monitor medical
claims to cut back on underutilization by patients of their
insurance plans and I need your assistance.
If this is correct, employees can choose to let Prudential
Insurance or other insurance companies who follow this practice
to monitor medical claims to ensure that a patient is making the
most of their policy, especially one who is afflicted with and
has just been informed by their doctors that they have a serious
illness.
The practice points to use of artificial intelligence to scale
back on paperwork for employees who have insurance claims.
Paperwork is one of the major reasons for patient insurance
policy underutilization.
I would like to learn as much as possible about this practice
for an article. To do this, I need to speak to an insurance
industry professional or expert. I need to ask you questions
about this trend and your responses would enrich my article.
My questions are as follows:
1)Do insurance companies collaborate with health insurance firms
directly to get medical claim records or do they have a partner
(3rd party) that specializes in this?
2) Do firms automatically pay supplemental claims or do they
just notify employees that they are eligible to file a claim?
3) How do employees opt-in? Is this part of open enrollment or a
separate process?
4) Anecdotally, how useful or successful has the new service
been? Do employees like the service and have they found it
beneficial?
5) Are there any additional costs to employers or employees?
Would you kindly consent to replying to my questions?
Your replies would be strictly on background and off the record.
This is because my article is more oriented towards learning
about and explaining a practice to an audience than it is about
using expert or authoritative quotes.
I thank you in advance for assisting me with my written piece
and I anticipate and appreciate your responses."

them business. This article will profile both large corporations

sustainability, and will highlight the best practices that they

Deadline: 11:00 AM EST - 22 December
Query:
Working ahead an looking for brief comments on the following
questions for Career Now columns set to run in early January:
1. For as long as I can remember, a college degree has been
touted as the ticket to a bright career future. The trades were
never (or at least hardly ever) mentioned in the list of
post-high school options. But that appears to be changing,
albeit slowly. Why should young people (and their parents)
consider blue collar/trade industry careers? And what are some
good options?
2. There are so many people whose jobs have been significantly
impacted by the pandemic. Many lost jobs and relied on
unemployment, some quit for myriad reasons (safety issues, to
care for loved ones), some turned to gig work to survive, while
others took on more/different responsibilities to help keep
their companies afloat. How can anyone whose job situation
radically changed during 2020 handle what in normal times would
appear negatives when updating their LinkedIn profile? How much
explanation is warranted?
