JACKSON, MS, Sept 26, 2022 – Ross & Yerger has been selected to be part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States participating in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) “Best Practices” Study Group.
Only 282 independent agencies throughout the U.S. qualified for inclusion in the 2022 Best Practices Study. An IIABA-affiliated state association or an insurance company must first nominate the agency, which then must qualify based on outstanding customer retention, growth, stability, and financial management. More than 2,600 agencies were nominated this year.
The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual Study of leading independent insurance agencies, conducted by the Big “I” and Reagan Consulting of Atlanta, GA, documents the business practices of these “best” agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices.
Hundreds of workshops and seminars have been conducted at various producer association functions, company-sponsored agency meetings, and national automation users group conventions.
The Big “I” and Reagan Consulting jointly maintain the Best Practices Gateway website (www.reaganconsulting.com/research/best-practices) that provides previews of the annual Best Practices Studies and various Best Practices tools. The Gateway, as well as the annual Study, is made possible through the financial sponsorship of various insurance companies and industry organizations.
