What Upsets Your Insurance Manager

Last week we covered things that tick off your insurance team, and this week, we’re flipping the script and diving into what upsets your insurance manager. Really, this covers all leadership, whether that person is an owner or holds another position. The first thing that really upsets your insurance manager? The word busy.

“Busy is a four-letter word that is literally to me, a grievance on the day. It is not a plan, it is not productive, it is not helpful.”

 

What Drives Your Insurance Agency Owner Nuts: Problems Not Solutions

This week we’re digging into an issue that can be transformative for your agency life and culture: what drives your insurance agency owner nuts. It’s important to know what might grind their gears, because oftentimes, owners might keep their frustrations to themselves. This next thing that can tick off agency owners: offering problems and not accepting solutions.

“The idea is every solution deserves a chance to solve the problem. Now, solutions often have to be iterated on, changed and updated and that’s okay. But here’s the thing: you can’t just vent and stomp your feet without going to the place of trying to solve it.”

 

Insurance Agency Culture

It can be tough to know what exactly is ticking off your manager at your insurance agency, and that’s why we’re here to help. All this week we’re bringing up some big things that can really bug your managers, and today’s topic is all about having a closed mind.

”I’m very vocal about the number one thing I think that could impact insurance agents: actually becoming Blockbuster. And if we don’t stay relevant, that is a significant thing that could happen in this industry.”

 

Insurance Agency Gossip

We’re up to our last part in our series on what ticks off your insurance agency owners and managers, and this one gets us all the time. We call it the post meeting meeting, and it’s the gossip session that happens a lot of the time when agencies are dealing with change.

”When you choose positivity, it’s amazing what can happen. And you can also be the beacon that some other people navigate towards and away from that negativity.”
