The Smarter Approach for Recruiting Insurance Agents and Faster Onboarding

Reading time: 2 minutes

We cannot yet know the long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The outbreak has presented major challenges to all kinds of financial service businesses as they rush to shift strategies and tactics in response to changing customer needs. For insurance carriers, likely effects of the pandemic will include slower growth, additional pressure on profitability, as well as a permanent shift in the ways they engage with employees and customers alike. Even before the crisis, a key area carriers have struggled with is recruiting insurance agents and quickly developing new producers. We say it’s time to overhaul the standard process.
