Selling More Insurance Cross Sales
Cross selling more insurance to clients can be a huge opportunity, and it’s probably something that’s on your agenda as an agent.
“When we recommend something with passion, people feel that.”

Insurance Agency Management Tips
In the workplace, employees tend to get promoted who have done a great job. While this can be a great step for someone’s career, it also means that insurance professionals are slipping into management positions, who have never managed a team before.
“In a leadership role you’re under a spotlight, whether you like it or not, and you’re setting the pace and the tone.”
To make sure you’re guiding your team to success, here are some insurance agency management tips which are simple to implement, and can make a huge difference.

Insurance agency culture can be a funny thing. Of course everyone wants to work in an office that’s friendly and where people enjoy speaking with each other, but oftentimes, office chatter can become a huge time-waster.

If you need help reducing insurance office chatter, here are some things to keep in mind.

When we’re working with insurance agencies, sometimes we walk in and can tell that unfortunately, failure is part of the culture. When agents feel like they’re failing, drowning, and not hitting their marks, we take this as a symptom that the agency has no target and no plan. We always ask: “What’s the last win you remember celebrating?” If the answer is “I don’t know,” or “I can’t remember,” then that’s tough.
