• BANK/TASC Spring 2015     

 

BANK & TASC Partners:

2014 proved to be another strong year for the insurance industry. Growth rates ticked up to close to 10% improving margin and optimism across the industry. Most of the growth was provided from steady improvements in the economy coupled with modest increases in most major lines of business. Economic and industry projections are favorable as we move into the New Year. Given the trying times most of our BANK & TASC Partners faced in the last 2000s, 2015 will provide an ample opportunity for the business to deploy reinvestment capital into the business now for value creation tomorrow.  
 
We are proud to host 70+ industry executives representing $1B in agency revenue, in Houston for the Spring 2015 BANK/TASC Summit. As always, attendees will spend most of the agenda in executive level exchange during your Strategic Issues Group, where you will update your peers on growth goals and receive insight on successful strategies to sustain strong growth into 2015. In addition to your SIG, we have planned a dynamic agenda to help support your top line growth strategy.  
 
Technologies to Leverage for Agency Effectiveness   
Andrew Bartels, Founder of PS Advisory, a technology consulting firm, will be presenting on how agencies can leverage mobile, how technology can be used for thought leadership and things to consider when selecting a CRM technology. Andrew will also discuss the future of technology in regards to big data, cloud computing and how drones and the internet will affect the agency business.
 
Producer Compensation Best Practices
Compensation expenses represent the largest expense any agency will incur and MarshBerry estimates that 90% of all agency issues can be tied directly or indirectly to flawed compensation strategies. MarshBerry Vice President, Nick Kormos will provide perspective on results driven sales compensation programs that can help organizations drive organic growth, improve payroll per employee, all while protecting agency profitability.
