The Agent for the Future™ site exists to help independent insurance agents succeed now and in the future.
We believe in the enduring value of independent agents. No other channel offers consumers the combination of ease, choice and advice they need to make smart decisions.
However, the insurance industry is rapidly changing. As technology evolves and customers’ needs shift, IAs must adapt to ensure long-term growth and success.
We created the Agent for the Future site as a resource to share ideas, insights and practical advice with all independent agents. Here, we explore the trends shaping the marketplace, highlight innovative agencies that are driving the industry forward, and talk to experts about what agents can do now to prepare for the future.
To learn more about the Agent for the Future site, read this letter from Tyler Asher, president of independent agent distribution for Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance.
