How to Hold People Accountable Without Being a Jerk: Clear Direction

We’re back for another week of Three Minute Videos, and this week we’re discussing a topic that’s critical to agencies: how to hold people accountable. Our first tip for holding people accountable? Have clear direction in your insurance agency.

“When we’re thinking about how do we hold people accountable, I think so much of it comes from the idea that there’s not a lot of clarity around things… If it’s not clearly outlined it is hard to hold people accountable.”

 

How to Hold People Accountable Without Being a Jerk: Coaching Meetings

One of the best ways you can hold people accountable is by having regular coaching meetings in your insurance agency. What does that mean?

It means that each week, on the same day, at (roughly) the same time you bring everyone in and get everyone on the same page. Bring people in on whatever plans you have and get a sense of how everyone is feeling. 

 

Why You Should Use Weekly Metrics in Your Insurance Agency

This week, we’ve been talking about all of the best ways you can hold people accountable in your insurance agency and they have all been great points, but this one is the best. It’s the practice of using weekly metrics in your insurance agency.

You see, as much as we like to pretend we don’t have them, we all have feelings—a lot of them. And while that is nothing to be ashamed of, data doesn’t have any. None. They feel nothing, so when reporting that someone isn’t meeting their goals, the data is going to have a much easier time conveying that than you.

 

Be Direct with Your Insurance Team

All of the points we’ve shared about keeping people accountable are almost useless if you are unable to be direct with your insurance team. 

Speed is really key here because dwelling in these kinds of moments never feels good, for either party.”
