Keep Paychecks Flowing: Alex DeQuattro on Aflac for the Trades


Listen Later

Accidents, injuries, and even downtime from illness can sink a small contracting business—but they don’t have to. In this episode, Aflac specialist Alex DeQuattro breaks down how supplemental insurance can keep paychecks (and companies) afloat without costing owners a dime. Host Frank LeBlanc digs into real-world payout stories, common myths, and the practical steps any blue-collar entrepreneur can take to protect crews, families, and cash-flow.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How Aflac policies layer on top of workers’ comp to replace lost income

  • Typical costs (as low as $7 a week) and real claim checks worth $20k+

  • Creative ways sole proprietors can qualify with just three policyholders

  • Why rates never rise after a claim—and how that helps long-term planning

  • Toolbox tips from Alex’s 100%-commission career on budgeting, networking, and time management
