It’s time to take your agency’s performance to a higher level, to go from good to great, and reach new heights!   To do this you will have to continue not only to grow, but also continue to improve the job you do for your customers, improve the quality and capabilities of your employees, maintain great carrier relationships, and embrace the tools, the resources and the organization necessary to achieve overall operational success. 

The recently released 2010 Best Practices Study provides meaningful performance benchmarks and business strategies that can be adopted or adapted for use in improving YOUR agency’s performance, in turn enhancing YOUR agency’s value.

With the study broken down into six revenue categories (ranging from revenues under 1.25 million to over 25 million) you can compare, contrast and develop a plan specific to YOUR agency’s needs.

For each revenue category the study provides critical information on Revenues, Expenses, Profitability, Employee Overview, Producer Information, Staff Service information, Technology and Carriers. This information will allow you to compare and contrast your operations with the best and learn what will take your agency’s performance to the next level.

This year’s Study also includes a look at a variety of management issues including recruiting/developing talent, achieving organic growth, adjusting to health care reform and other top challenges.  Attend this Webinar and learn from the best!  For more information and to register Click here.
