The best spouse business partners have clear boundaries and work on their communication. In fact many of them go as far as to create very specific job descriptions to keep roles clear and make sure the team understands who to go to. For many husband and wife teams opposites attract. This means you can balance out everyone’s strengths and weaknesses.
When you work with your spouse make sure that any disagreements are handled professionally. This is both for marital and or family disagreements as well as insurance agency fights. You have to be certain that you don’t vent to the team and give them mixed messages. Also, make sure that you recognize and compliment your spouse just like you would other team members in your insurance agency.
