I can help with...

Agency Operations

Carrier Relationships

Acquisition Consulting 

Employee Compensation & Hiring

Perpetuation Planning

An example of how I help:

I develop relationships with our carriers that are benficial to all of our agent partners.  I strive to put together the best compensation plans with a carrier.  I strive to reduce the premium commitments that a carrier requires for a direct appointment.

With over 20 years of experience working with various insurance agencies, I have seen a lot.  Whether it is the countless acquisitions I have helped with or all the times I've helped to make sure an agency has the right staff, I put my experience to work for you.

An example of how I help:

Every agency is unique. What works for one agency is not what works for another.

I am an extension of your agency.  If you are looking for the best market in which to place a particular risk, I can help you find it.  

Making sure that you write business is important to me, and I will use all of my knowledge, resources and experience to help you do just that.

I can help with...

Accounting Issues

Bonus Payment Questions

Compliance

Reporting Training

1099 Questions

An example of how I help:

Our partner agents are always surprised by how completely transparent our bonus payments are handled.  However, there are a lot of them.  Some months we receive more than 50 different bonus payments from various deals we have.   I can help agents to make sure that they are able to see exactly what was due to them each month so they understand exactly where their money is coming from!
