You accidentally send an email with applicant data to the wrong email address.
These typical types of damage can spell disaster for you as a martial arts instructor or self-defense trainer:
- Financial losses
You are tasked with finding a new CFO for a corporation. You refer a seemingly suitable candidate. Unfortunately, it later transpires that the candidate was convicted of a financial crime several years ago and therefore has a criminal record. Because you did not conduct thorough enough research and the position now has to be filled again, the corporation is demanding compensation. - Property damage
During a meeting with your customer, you accidentally knock their laptop off the table and it breaks. - Personal injury
A client you want to refer visits you at your office. While going to the restroom, they slip on the freshly mopped floor and injure themselves.
