How did you get into the Industry:
I’m a 3rd generation independent agent, my grandfather
started Elliott Insurance Group in 1974, followed by my
father and now me, I guess you could say I was born into
it.
What advice would you like to share
with Principals who have been in the
business more than 10 years?
What benefits do Young Agents bring
to the Industry?
I would strongly encourage principals to be open minded
to new ideas, I would also advise them to support their
young people to join the YA (Young Agents) group from a
time and monetary perspective.
Young agents bring energy, motivation, competition and
new ideas.
What are your future Plans?
How do you see the Industry Changing
in the next 5-10 years?
I believe we will see the relationship between independent
agents and carries shrink, carriers will act direct with
customers cutting out some of the service for agents. As
the service portion shrinks the sales aspect is going to
increase.
I plan to continue to grow my book and continue to
improve myself as an agent in any way I can.
Tell us 3 tips that you would give to an
incoming young agent?
1) Get involved in the YA group.
2) Take as many CE courses as possible.
3) Don’t become complacent, always continue to
improve.
Who/What has been your greatest
resources in this industry and why?
My dad has been my greatest resource along with many
other agents involved with the KAIA. He has been there to
support me every step of the way.
What is your greatest reward as an
independent insurance agent?
The relationships I have formed with customers as well as
other agents.
