🌟 Fun Fact Friday 🌟 This week's fun fact: I was a semi-finalist to be cast on Cody Askins' reality show, "The Ultimate Agent"! 🎥 It was an incredible experience that continues to inspire me to push the boundaries of what's possible in the insurance industry. I'm still buzzing with inspiration from the 8% Conference, where I learned firsthand the power of connection in our field. Here are three reasons why connecting with other insurance professionals can supercharge your business growth: 1️⃣ Networking: Building relationships with other agents opens up opportunities for collaboration, referrals, and shared knowledge. 2️⃣ Learning: Connecting with peers allows you to stay updated on industry trends, best practices, and innovative strategies. 3️⃣ Support: Being part of a community of like-minded professionals provides encouragement, motivation, and a sense of belonging. 🚀 Agents, are you ready to take your business to the next level?

Join us for our Weekly Roundup! 🌟 As we wrap up another productive week, let's take a moment to reflect on this weeks news and wins: 🚗 Increasing Car Insurance Premiums: The average car insurance quote in the UK has reached a record high of £995. This surge is attributed to the increasing cost of claims, despite a recent quarter-on-quarter decrease in prices, the first in two years. 💼 FCA Regulatory Actions: The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has allowed four insurers to resume selling Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance following a value assessment, which had previously halted due to regulatory concerns. 📑 Market Movements: Aviva Broker UK reported a significant increase in its personal lines business, which grew by 27% in Q1 2024, contributing to a 19% rise in general insurance premiums. 📈 Industry Developments: Allianz Commercial UK has made notable changes in its senior leadership, appointing a new Chief Risk Officer and Chief Transformation Officer to drive strategic initiatives. 🌟 Employee Highlights This week, Kevin Hope attending a meeting with Zurich Insurance and as Club Blue members we received a lovely hamper from Zurich UK.

Bear with me for a second—I promise this will come together. In the McGarvey household, we’re Team Multi-Colored Lights all the way. There’s no debating it. We would not have it any other way. The mix of colors….feels festive, vibrant, and full of life. But I know plenty of folks who swear by the clean, classic look of all-white lights. Here’s the thing: It’s not really about the colors. It’s about the strategy behind them. Natalie and the kids spend an enormous amount of time making sure that everything is in place….there is a strategy behind it…..that’s what creates the magic. The tree doesn’t light up just because you threw some lights on it. The magic happens when you take the time to design something that aligns with your vision. It’s the same with business. A lot of companies approach their insurance and risk management programs the way most people decorate their tree—they do what they’ve always done, plug it in, and hope for the best. Sometimes it works, but other times… something feels off. At MMA, we take a different approach. With our proprietary process, we ask: • What do you want? • What aligns with your goals? • How do we tie it all together to create a program that works for you? Because whether it’s multi-colored lights, white lights, or your insurance program, the magic isn’t in the lights themselves—it’s in the strategy that makes it all work. So, which are you—Team Multi-Colored or Team All-White? Comment below…. Don’t like the strategy behind your “Decorations”? Then let’s talk…. Picture is from a few years ago….the good ole days! #Staffing #StaffingRiskManagement #InsuranceInsight #MRMH360 #StaffingInsurance #ABetterWay #BrokenProcess

I had breakfast with a talented Producer this morning... We talked about all manner of things as we led up to what his next move will be. 💨 📈 Before we got to that, though, I recapped what I heard him say about the experiences he's had so far in his career. Without getting in the weeds, like many others, he's had ups and downs with the agencies he's worked for in the past. This runs the gamut from company culture to compensation. For a brief moment, I got the sense he wasn't sure if he wanted to stay in the insurance biz. So I voiced that to him. Boy was I wrong...and HERE'S WHY! He said the reason he wants to keep going and find the right place to grow is because he's PASSIONATE about what he does and who he serves. ✅ He LOVES building relationships. ✅ He LOVES the thrill of the hunt. ✅ HE LOVES serving other people. No single agency experience can change that, UNLESS YOU LET IT. No single clash of personalities can change that, UNLESS YOU LET IT. If you don't have a deeply rooted passion for what you do in ANY industry, IT WILL SHOW and you WILL NOT BE HAPPY. This is exactly why one of our Core Values at Southern States Insurance, Inc. is PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR OTHERS. For... ☑ Clients ☑ Colleagues ☑ Community I'm pretty stoked about this guy's future! Wherever he ends up (hopefully with us 😉), he will EXCEL and he will find far more enjoyment in his own life while enriching the lives of those around him because he has the PASSION for doing it. What are YOU passionate about? #passion #culturematters #whatisyourwhy

This is an interesting read. I find that although this is a major problem, industry leaders in connection with various governments agencies can agree on common ground and play fair. There is so much room in the insurance industry to play fair. Sometimes the solution lies within the problem.
