Manage episode 356594702 series 3453049
In this episode of And I Quote, Duncan Crystal, Co-founder of Herald, joins our host, Ann Boger, VP of Scaling at Coterie Insurance to discuss finding and focusing on your business’s core competency.
Knowing what your business excels in will help determine how you position and market your brand to your potential niche audience. Also, understanding what distinguishes you from your competitors will help you find the best partners that can complement and enhance your business.
It is easy to get distracted from the big picture or to be pulled in many different directions when you are starting out or even when industries are changing or evolving. As an owner or stake holder at your business, it is your responsibility to remember what your “core competency” is so you can stay on track.
Utilizing partners to build your business isn’t you taking the “easy” way, it is you taking the best way. Automation is good for your business. It isn’t eliminating you or any other human that works at your office, all it is doing is making it easier for you all to do your jobs more efficiently.
As an insurance agent, agency owner or broker, your focus should be on relationship building, connecting with clients, creating content that resonates with your audience and many other things that “can’t be automated”. This way, when it comes to providing a quote your potential client will already feel like they can trust you…plus it will help when you get them that quote quickly using technology like Coterie Insurance.
