The local agent represents a carrier in a given city or town. He will ordinarily represent more than one carrier: he may represent both stock and mutual companies. The commission received by the local agent naturally is less than that paid to general or regional agents. The local agent performs little technical insurance service.

These services are performed by the true regional or general agent, or by the branch or home offices. The local agent is principally a salesman; his job is to acquire business and to give home insurance quotes to his clients. Continue reading ‘Local Agents In Insurance Companies’ »

One of the “perks” of my business, is that I get to be a fly on the wall for a brief time in a large number of differing organizations.

During one three week period, I did several presentations both in Bulgaria and Romania to a wide variety of companies, from large multi-nationals to small local businesses. Not unlike North America, I saw companies with these attributes: 1) Companies with people who are truly engaged in whatever activity is going on, 2) companies whose people do what they are told really well but are not truly engaged and lastly, and sadly 3) companies who say they want employee engagement but don’t really want input from their employees. (Where does your company fit in?)

It almost goes without saying which group accomplished the most in my sessions – of course it was the ones who were truly engaged! And as you probably know, when you work with engaged people you have as much fun as they do, which I certainly did. Continue reading ‘Let everyone get involved!’ »

What is the competitive advantage that a product or a service has over the competitors? What makes it distinguishable from competitor’s products or services? One way to identify competitors is through a perceptual mapping. In a perceptual map, products are compared based on how customers view a set of comparable products on quality and cost. The perceptual map is derived from customer data measuring similarities among brands. Customers are asked to rate each pair of brands on a scale from similar to very dissimilar, which help find out how a product stands in comparison to competitors and decide whether to confront, compete, coexist or cooperate with them.

To be able to sustain in competitive advantage your products must be valuable for customers, not easy to imitate and profitable to sell. Successful products fulfill a high emotional value state, for instance OXO who evolved a single product called GoodGrips to a full line of products penetrating a significant market share. Motorola developed a major presence in the consumer product category with one new product, called the Talkabout.

Here’s one way to give your business proposal more impact: Use a spreadsheet to present a summary. I’ve done it a few times and found it effective. And, not just for the numbers — you can also present worded arguments in a spreadsheet.

A spreadsheet has several benefits: First, it’s an interesting way to organize your case. It allows you to put the salient facts and issues into columns and rows, which makes it easier for others to grasp what you’re saying.

Let’s say you’re part of a team and each team member has taken on some specific tasks, and together these individual tasks add up to a complete project. So why not create a spreadsheet that lists “Who”, “What”, “Where”, “When”, and “Why” as column headers. Each member of the team then would be listed in the “Who” column on the left side of the page, with the detailed information following along on the same row.
