How to Adopt Team Selling at Your Agency

For agencies looking to revamp their sales strategy, offer value-added resources to their customers and attract more prospective clients, team selling may be the path to success. Here are five things to keep in mind when implementing this strategy at your agency.
 
Cyber Coverage Can be Deceptive
 
"Cyber crime" and "cyber deception" claims are on the rise-and most victims of these schemes are surprised to discover that often, neither their crime nor their cyber/privacy insurance policies afford coverage.
Independent Agents Brace for New Challenges
 
Independent agencies of all sizes feel less optimistic about future growth based on year-over-year results, according to a new survey. What's driving the decline, and what are agencies like yours doing about it?
 
Humanizing Your Digital Communications  
 
Video conferencing has been around for a long time. The equipment is usually kept in a special room filled with expensive equipment that's always booked by executives because of the high value they derive from using it to enhance their communications and collaborations.  Visual communications on the other hand, is very different by my definition. Visual communications can take place using your laptop, your tablet, your smartphone and even your watch, the software is free and the quality of the video today is quite good.

We are Looking for Agents to get Involved!      
 
We've recently partnered with FEMA's America's Prepare-A-Thon! (a national grassroots effort to educate the public on preparing for natural disasters). We're now looking for agents who would like to get involved in this partnership and host a Prepare-A-Thon! themed event in your community.  The event could be a coffee & networking morning at your office, for small businesses in the area where disaster planning materials are reviewed (all materials can be found on the Prepare-A-Thon! website) in an effort to help your community be more prepared for natural disasters.
