Dave is CEO of InsurBanc, the financial institution launched by the Big \u201cI\u201d to support agents\u2019 growth. Dave lucidly covers today\u2019s business opportunities for agencies as well as the broader landscape over which they don\u2019t have much control. Strategic loans to buy other firms or books, hire producers, and install new technology are available. But, \u201cagents are generally debt-adverse,\u201d Dave notes. \u201cThe most successful business models I have seen in 20 years of working with independent agents are that the over-performers are doing it both ways. They\u2019re focused on organic growth. And they\u2019re taking an opportunistic approach through acquisitions \u2014 in geographic regions, in markets, in specialties, etc. If you can accomplish both of those\u2026, you have a home run.\u201d Listen in to hear how firms are generating tremendous profitability, cash flow and resultant long-term growth.
