Insurance Agencies of the Future
Last week there were several news reports about ladies in their 90s receiving Master Degrees. One such lady is Helen Small show graduated from University of Texas Dallas. Here is an article on this amazing lady. http://tinyurl.com/29rrbhb. So what do people like this have that others don’t? Why do they keep learning when they could be doing leisurely things all day? When working with agencies I hear a number of excuses related to learning.
Our world of social media continues to explode. Along with that comes new technologies and new design. While creating a new social media plan for a client over the past few weeks, I determine that my site was too busy and outdated in its design and performance. It has only been about a year since I last had a re-design. However, as someone working with clients on updating who they are and how they operate, I think I need to be as current as possible in addition to looking to the future.
In this article I relate how I evaluated the type of new laptop I chose and how that relates to evaluating your technology needs in your agency. In looking back to what I said in the article there is only one item that I no longer agree with. I said I really like the blogging software better than what I was using before.
A few weeks ago I helped an agency set up Microsoft Windows Live Writer for their blogging. This is the software I was using when I changed to my Mac. After testing 4 different Mac blogging software I am going back to the Windows Live Writer software.
I am enjoying the best of both worlds.
