As so many followers of this column, I am a father of a 20 year old son and a 17 year old daughter (going on 40!) who like so many of us “old people” use some form of social media in our daily lives whether it is for business, pleasure, or education. As a very […]
At last week’s Agent’s Council for Technology (ACT); ACORD User Group Information Exchange (AUGIE); and American Insurance Marketing and Sales Society (AIMS) meetings in Tampa, FL, initiative updates showed the progress being made to improve business for agents nationwide.
