The Big “I" Diversity Council is pleased to launch its fourth mentorship group for developing agency owners! This six-month program will help you better position your agency for success so that you can both gain and retain appointments with top carriers. 

The program focuses on providing support and mentorship to agency owners underrepresented in the insurance industry. Please see below for more information.

During the 6-month mentorship program developing agency owners (mentees) will have two mentors

Both mentors will individually connect with the developing agency owner for a one-hour monthly call to further discuss the principles outlined in the Right Start Training Series, including:

1. Understanding Your Agency Operating Style

2. Employees, Your Key to Increased Productivity  

3. Preparing for the Company Visit
