Why Insurance Agents Need An Exit Strategy!
By: Jason Cunningham (5-15-06)
Whether you have been in the
insurance business one day or 25 years, we must all face the issue of retirement. Unlike
most nine to five jobs, it is often imperative that you choose a person or team to take
over your block of business. You owe it to your clients to find someone who will
continue your level of customer service.
Retirement seems to be a bad
word to the average insurance agent. Unfortunately, we will all die or be unable
to work some day. Therefore, none of us should be without an exit strategy. Not
only do we owe it to our customers, it is necessary and vital to maintaining the
integrity of the agency and our represented companies. It is one of the reasons
that veterans become mentors to newer or less seasoned agents. All of us would
like to leave the business knowing our clients are in good hands.
There is no time like the
present to plan ahead. You are not prevented from changing your mind in the
future. However, it is crucial that you have a named successor in place due to a
premature death or disability. Do not wait or procrastinate, because this
decision can have a lasting impact on your family, company, and the individual
clients you represent.
