Course #1: Executive Training:
Agency Financial Management

Agency Financial Management is a tool to help an agency protect its own assets and achieve its primary goal of making a profit by helping clients minimize risk. It's so much more than balancing a spreadsheet to budget, although that is important, too.

Without good financial management, owners can work hard, build sales and have a less than average agency. This class will teach you how you can work just as hard but use good financial management techniques in order to outperform the competition.

This 6-hour class explains what smart Agency Financial Management involves, what smart agency management avoids, as well as Five steps to Sound Financial Management (including: Expense control, Income & Expense Analysis, Income Safeguards & Controls, Automation, and Taxes).
  • The new application of the Liquor Liability exclusion;
  • How the new Other Insurance wording simplifies life;
  • What ISO has done to alter 24 of the additional insured endorsements;
  • How the new "Primary and Noncontributory" endorsement works;
  • What two endorsements are now available for use as an "underwriting tool."

Strategic Planning

What is one thing a Paper Company and Insurance Agency have in common? Answer: they need a solid business strategy to survive - not just sales. It isn't unheard of for an agency to be successful while relying on optimism and pure skill, but it's sure risky.

  • Where are you today?
  • Where do you want to be tomorrow?
  • How do you get there?
  • How do you take action?

In addition, you will understand the ground rules on WHAT you need within your agency in order to create and execute a strategic plan, including the necessary steps on HOW to do so, such as:

1) Outline a SWOT Analysis in order to determine where your agency stands today
2) Create reasonable goals, identify potential threats as well as strengthen your agency against those threats
3) Take the appropriate steps to reach your goals given the previous factors

  • The new application of the Liquor Liability exclusion;
  • How the new Other Insurance wording simplifies life;
