Overcome the Sales Talent Crisis in the Insurance Industry

A major hurdle facing every industry, especially the Insurance industry is the shrinking pool of available sales talent. With an overwhelming failure rate of over 94% the churn rate within the insurance industry is staggering.

The massive failure rate and the hemorrhaging of talent can be attributed to the lack of effective resources available to agency owners to quickly train competent staff members in the art of sales and is compounded by the lack of a job-ready talent pool, specifically in the insurance producer or sales positions available to the agencies.
