Our Company has always prided itself on having the best and highly trained professionals representing us and our clients. As such, we only allow agents and representatives who are honest, have integrity and who are fair to engage our clients.

Effective immediately, we now have a set of basic building blocks to ensure success at all levels. Most of them are common sense rules of any trade.

As such, outstanding customer service should be our top priority with every potential customer or client, every day. Follow-up, communication, execution and validation should always be part of the formula for success.

1) Great People
• We should only bring on-board great people.
• The President will make the final decision on all agents and representatives.
• Bring on the best, compensate them accordingly, but hold them accountable for taking care of the client.
• Management, agents and representatives must set by example.
• Utilize the talent of each agent, representative that fits their skills.
• Make sure agents, representatives and clients understand the full benefits of our services.

4) Obsession for Sales

• Explain the services we provide and why in a comprehensive and detailed manner.
• Reinforce accountability to achieve sales and margins.
• Manage opportunities.
• Execute required contracts and documents with all agents, reps, clients and customers.

5) Marketing standards
• Adhere to the rules of marketing in the regulations summary.
• Always verify from the Quick Reference Advertising Checklist.
• Be tactful and tasteful. Don't bash.
• Always leave room for ideas.
• Always use common sense in executing marketing standards.
• Participate in news & groups.
• Read all e-mails and communications to be fully informed.
• Focus on new ideas.
• Take ownership and responsibility for marketing.

6) Company Standards
• All agents and representatives will focus on customer/client service. Our goal is to take care of the customer.
• Recruit friendly people.
• Maintain and support open, honest communication and fairness.

• Be professional in all interactions with everyone you come into contact with.

We recognize this is a completely new and unique strategic process and idea, so we invite your inquiries, and hope you will keep us apprised of how this standard operates in the field as you encounter issues.

We promote these ideas in order to instill customer trust and satisfaction.

My personal motto is simple:

Strive for perfection in everything
Take the best that exists and make it better
If it doesn't exist, create it
Accept nothing nearly right or good enough
Stay ahead of the curve
Make it look easy.

Follow these 6 simple principles and your life and success will be tremendous.
