Is our agency curious how to hire insurance agency staff?
We hear it all across the country – we can’t find good staff! With agency team members being the heart beat of every insurance agency we have to figure out how to hire insurance agency staff.
When you listen to this video with Jeff Rounds, owner of Libke Insurance he will share with you how his agency has been finding top talent. He will share there is no magic secret, it starts with working on your agency first and then going to find team members. Too many agencies hire staff from desperation rather than preparation.
After Libke Insurance joined the APP 2 Year Program we started the process of clarifying the plan. We create job descriptions and reviewed compensation all so we can align the agency to the vision of the lead – Jeff Rounds! In many insurance agencies the agency is running the owner and the reality is the agency needs to be serving the owner.
For many agencies in acquisition mode – locations can present opportunity but also some drawbacks. The pluses are you get exposure in a different community, get good bump for search engine and tap into new talent. The hardships include staffing, keeping processes consistent and having an inclusive culture. Generally speaking multiple locations can lead to more stress on the agency and team just do to adequate staffing. In this podcast we discuss how modern agencies are handling the location challenge associated with agency acquisitions. Bigger may seem better but generally it can lag your agency’s profit margins.
Through some patience and clarity in the vision we helped Jeff identify what he truly wanted which was a profitable streamlined agency.
