Carrier Rep Q&A: 5 Habits of TOP Successful Agents!

Welcome back to the Direct Insurance Podcast - or DIP! for short! A podcast for independent insurance agents; brought to you by Insurance Advisors Direct, a full-service FMO.  Today we sat down with 3 of our carrier rep partners; Kyle Ingraham from Health Alliance Plan - or HAP, Robin Kane-Mostyn from McLaren Medicare, and Rob Roberts from Priority Health! With all 3 of these carrier reps having once been independent agents themselves, we sat down to talk about the 5 Habits of TOP Successful Agents. 

What does it take to become an independent agent in today's world? And more importantly - what does it take to become a SUCCESSFUL AGENT in today's world? From mindset, to marketing; Kyle, Rob, & Robin tell us the facts about developing & maintaining an entrepreneurial balance in the insurance industry. We talk about how to find resources for training, education, marketing, and business development. They also give their top tips on how to become successful in the industry, including a habit or two to avoid doing!

Carrier Reps play an important role in the industry - because they help facilitate the growth of the agent, while also being the agent's advocate. As well as being the direct line of communication between the agent's client and the insurance carrier - meaning that they're constantly keeping their ears to the ground in terms of what agents and their members want from their plan!
