Insurance Agencies of the Future
Last week I attended my first Apple school session. My One-On-One session was great. Rachel, my instructor, was knowledgeable, had great teaching skills and was fully engaged in our session. However, it was a challenge to keep my people watching habit under control and pay attention to why I was there.
I have been thinking about a new laptop for awhile. My current one is 4 years old and giving me a good deal of grief. When we visited with our granddaughter in September she had acquired a MacBook Pro. She is studying graphic arts and the classes require that she use Mac software. I enjoyed using her MacBook and added this to my list of considerations. I have spent a great deal of time researching what I want. I am tied to a windows computer in order to work with certain programs used by my clients. So who says I can’t have two laptops? Here she is all dressed up and ready for the party(ies).
Last week I was privileged to be the facilitator for two sessions at the Big I of Nebraska’s first Technology Day. In the afternoon session we discussed the potential errors and omissions issues that using social medial my pose and then we looked at the different social media resources. When we were discussing Twitter.Com, a lady said the following: I have read that the majority of tweets are meaningless, so why would my agency want to use them?
I met Larry Linne several years ago at a Sitkins 100 meeting now known as Sitkins International. He was a speaker and his subject was on sales management. Who knew he was writing this wonderful book? I so wish I had known all that is in this book when I owned a managing general agency. Oh did I lose sleep and it was very noisy. It would have also been helpful for those positions where I was second-in-command.
Are you in a dead end job that drains the life out of you each day? When you arrive home at the end of the day you have no energy to be present for your family? Almost everyone has been in this position at one time or another. “Find Your Strongest Life” should be read by every woman of every age so that you know what action to take to propel yourself from this situation.
