Working with Agency Elements
A Trusted Partner – Your Key to Success
Your service teams are experts at insurance, not process and workflow deisign. At Agency Elements we’re experts at agency operations, business process and technology. But even we can’t do it alone. Our method embeds us into your agency, boosting the core competencies of your internal staff. We create functional teams that blend our expertise to develop processes and technology tailored for your agency’s individual needs.
Short Term or Long Term?
Our engagements range from short-term projects to long-term retainers. Our consultants hold a broad range of skills, certifications and experience – all focused on and derived from commercial insurance distribution. While we can engage in long-term and ongoing projects our goal is to empower your agency and your colleagues to execute, maintain and ultimately own your own systems and technology. When we achieve success our engagement ends. This puts us in a unique position of becoming a true partner to your firm, engaged as needed to provide exactly the skills and execution power you need, only when you need it.
