$5,000 Training for $500

Unprecedented agency management wisdom and insight.
New from Insurance Journal's Academy of Insurance.

Because of his national prominence as an agency management consultant, we invited Chris Burand to the Insurance Journal Academy of Insurance's office to put his expertise on video. The result is 12 hours of unprecedented agency management wisdom and insight.

To take advantage of this special offer, Register today for immediate access.

This Agency Executive Training Program is broken into three parts:

• Part 1: Strategic Planning. This 2-hour session guides you through the tools you need to organize a beneficial agency strategic planning session. This includes a discussion on what you need to create and execute an effective strategic plan.

• Part 2: Choosing and Managing Carrier Relationships. Four hours that could improve your leverage with your carriers, increase profitability, and increase commissions.

• Part 3: Agency Financial Management. In this six hour session you gain insight on how to best manage your agency's finances. While you may have your own method, these proven methods will allow you to accomplish things your competition can't (and they will wonder how you did it).

Regardless of the economic conditions, tested agency management procedures always outperform inefficient ones. Chris Burand's methods are tested and proven.

To have Chris come to your office and provide this level of consultation would cost you $5,000 plus expenses. During this special offer, you get the same coaching for only $500.

When you register for this program, you are given a link to the video series and anytime access to the training program.

This amazing offer ends soon. Register today for immediate access.

What Are New Clients Worth?

What Are New Clients Worth?

Polestar's on-line Producer Performance Development Program
offered through the Academy of Insurance brings a track record of
improved results. The $998 training investment - already deeply
discounted compared to the classroom version - equates to the
income from one or two very small commercial clients. Is it
worth investing the commissions from one or two clients in order
to learn how to add dozens more to your book?

Polestar's Producer Performance Development Program involves
your commitment to be the best at what you do - protecting
your clients from financial disaster. If you invest the
time in the training and coaching offered by Polestar, the $998
investment won't even be noticed or remembered in just a few
months - but the increased income and success will
be beneficial for years.

Click here to learn more about the
Producer's Performance Development Program that starts tomorrow.

I hope you will check out this exclusive producer development program.
If you have any questions, please get in touch cboggs@ijacademy.com.

New Training from Academy of Insurance

Five Claims Secrets No Lawyer Wants You to Know

Have you ever wondered how attorneys - who attend exactly none of our industry's plethora of training, continuing education (CE), or designation sessions - have managed to create a massive profit niche out of inserting themselves into insurance claim resolutions? How did they convince far too many of our insureds that facing a contractually-controlled insurance claim without legal representation is just begging to be shafted by the carrier? No wonder we often lose at the claim game: many of us didn't even know we were playing, much less what the rules are.

With apologies to Bob Dylan, something is clearly happening here, and you don't know what it is, Mr. Jones. Well, you will after this session. Tune in to discover what the lawyers already know, and leave better able to offer your clients a great service, at a lot less expense, and a minimal need for attorney involvement. Don't you just love a win-win-win?

What you will learn in this webinar:

  • The four key steps to follow to resolve any claim dispute.
  • Why knowledge of insurance is only the first step in that process.
  • How far you can go on your own, and when you'll require a team.
  • What lamaze teaches us about consumer claims behavior.
