What we can do for You
Working in today’s 21st-century insurance agency requires a unique skill set. Insurance Agents need to work SMART not just HARD. Your companies tell you to go, go, go and sell, sell, sell; but give you little tools or relief to do the heavy lifting required to be successful. This training manual is the beginning of a tool kit you can use to organize yourself, create the correct vision and get the right actions going to enjoy your job, do it well and make a lot of money in the process.
Did any of you take Chemistry in High School or College? If so you will have learned that water boils at 212 degrees. You also know that water isn’t more boiled at 250 degrees or 300 degrees. If you took Physics you learned about Newton’s Law of Diminishing Returns”, which states that more effort does not necessarily equate to more results. There is a point where more heat doesn’t mean that the water is more boiled. It still is just “boiled” and the extra effort or energy was wasted. Water boils at 212 degrees. So rather than waste more energy, just use the right amount of energy to get the job done you are tasked at doing, which is boil water. The same goes with selling. There is a hard way to do it that will make you average at best; or there is a SMART way of doing it that can help you and your team be very successful. Let’s figure out what the right amount of energy is so your efforts are never wasted.
The following material is designed to help you get your mind right. It is important to understand your “Why” before you understand your “What”. Start with what makes you tick. What do you believe and how does that affect how you approach cold calls, internet leads, referral partners, sales leaders, employees, and the host of other things that ask for your attention? Once you have created your list of “Ism’s” or “Commandments” or your “Code”—whatever you call it, you can then begin to dial down on what need to be done and how you are going to get there.
This manual will not cover everything, but it is enough to help you get headed in the right direction and create motion on your part. There are better days ahead. Start with this and commit to being a student for life. No knowledge is wasted knowledge unless you don’t put it into action!

The Staff Handbook
The Staff Handbook is a basic policy booklet that agents will want for each employee–especially when establishing expectations with new team members.
The policies
Policies outlined include items such as job roles and responsibilities, holiday and vacation benefits, compensation, security, regulations involving harassment, discrimination, and more.
The value
The biggest value found in the Staff Handbook is a “No Compete Agreement,” contracted by our legal services. This agreement, which we are giving permission for you to use and customize, would normally be a one-time $1500 attorney fee to draft for yourself. It is and has been enforced in a court of Law on a number of occasions, and is designed to protect the insurance agency and employer from inappropriate predatory practices of team members after employment has ended.
