In 2016, the estimated total number of independent Agencies in the United States stood at 38,000, according to Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America Inc. Given the huge number, it comes as no surprise that the competition is extensive to run an agency profitably. Today, we will examine 7 steps that can guide an agent towards success.

We all know the success story of the half bitten Apple.  At InsuredMine we are not kidding when we draw the analogy with what happened at Insuretech Connect 2018 (ITC2018). Despite a complete experience with two days of exposure, meetings, and attending sessions, we know we only took a bite of the apple; we know there is so much more to explore and experience, but most importantly, to learn and grow.

Insurance customer expectation and engagement was way different than it is today and is changing at a rapid pace. Companies like Google, Amazon eBay, and Netflix have leveraged technology and flipped business models completely upside down. Since technology is fostering “I want it when I want it and how I want it” motto, we can’t expect the customers to demand any less when it comes to insurance.
Today 4 out of 5 customers are way different than Jack’s customers years ago, because though they trust Jack just as equally today, they still compare and verify

It feels like just yesterday that we were preparing for our first ever Insurtech Connect event. Juggling what to do, whom to meet, taking notes, learning new things, and overall soaking in as much as we could. But this year certainly feels different not only because we are one of the official sponsors of the event along with 200+ others, but because we have also ‘been there done that’. We

Engagement is a tricky term. It is halfway to a promise, but a long way from commitment. Agent-customer relationships also work in a similar fashion. Customer engagement is the depth of the relationship a customer has with a brand. Although engagement is a good sign that leads to a prospective customer, how we navigate from the first interaction until the customer commits plays a key role. Some strategies on how we can achieve customer engagement are discussed here and we are confident these strategies will work for all agents.

A place for everything and everything in its place!
Whether we are dealing with personal or professional belongings, organizing is not only about perfection; it is about efficiency, decluttering, improving quality, and most importantly, making the most of our valuable resources – time and money.  At InsuredMine, the terms ‘organizing’ and ‘managing’ mean the same.  With our relentless drive to constantly improve insurance management, we strive for progress and not just perfection.  That is why we

It is said that extinction is the rule and survival is the exception!
But when it comes to the dinosaurs of the insurance industry, you can’t help but wonder about what it is that makes them so resistant to extinction, even though nothing about them has changed for about a century.  Have they adapted so exceptionally well or did modern day economics fail to penetrate them through technology, process, or people?  This also deepens the curiosity when you notice that the average age of top 45 insurance companies on the 

It seems that all the movers and shakers of insurance industry will be once again descending on Las Vegas for InsureTech’s biggest event- InsureTech Connect 2017.  While it’s going to be very exciting to meet new faces, strike new contacts and share the enthusiasm, we anticipate much more than that.

Falling down is a part of life and getting back up is Living: acknowledge what is happening and quickly pull yourself up to get everything back in action. More importantly, learn from what you could have done better, be prepared, and come stronger for any such danger in the future.
With Hurricane Irma as our next visit, it is time to take all the right measures, whether evacuating or staying in our homes – staying safe and staying prepared should be our motto.
