AGENCY GROWTH
Grow Your Agency with The Connector’s Way in 2021 By: Patrick Galvin Chief Galvanizer
Ask any great relationship builder about the secret to success and sooner or later they will mention the word momentum. People who achieve business momentum have taken the time and energy to build strong connections—and momentum is the thing that fires them up and keeps them going. Great, you might say. But what happens when a global pandemic comes along and threatens to take the wind out of your sails? Just twelve months ago, it would have been nearly impossible to predict what the year 2020 would bring. I think it is fair to say that COVID-19 brought momentum to a grinding halt for many of us—at least temporarily. Today, we find ourselves adapting to everchanging circumstances and learning how to build and maintain relationships even when we are unable to meet face to face 18 | SPRING 2021 |
For independent insurance agents and brokers, resilience and flexibility are nothing new. That is why I am so pleased to be partnering with Big I Oregon to bring you an exclusive, year-long program based on the relationship-building principles in my book, The Connector’s Way. If you joined us for the January 12th kickoff presentation, you learned about the program and its benefits. You also heard stories and best practices, including those from a panel of Big I Oregon leaders, to help your agency stay at the top of its relationship building game. Missed the kick-off event? Not to worry! On April 13th I will be moderating an interactive, 60-minute presentation featuring a panel of NextGen members who will share their relationship building success stories. Attendees will have multiple opportunities to connect and engage and we will use breakout rooms and other collaborative online tools to make this one of the year’s most dynamic and lively virtual events.
