Brent Sheppard – President & Founder of Xanatek

Industry tech leader reveals insights on the state of insurance today

Where is the insurance industry really headed? Most agents are so busy running their own agency, it’s tough to get your head up long enough to know which way the wind is blowing. But, if thousands of agents use your software every single day, you’re privileged to get an industry-wide view of the big picture. Our guest, Brent Sheppard is the founder and president of one the industry’s leading agency management systems, Xanatek – and his broad industry knowledge and leadership give substance to this exciting conversation:

• Why are we seeing a surge of agency start-ups – and what does that mean for the long-term agents of today?
• What technologies should agents be using to run efficiently – and grow? (And why do so many agencies only use 40% of the power their technologies offer?)
• Why are so many agents stuck on their own ‘hamster wheel’ – doing the same thing every day but not growing nearly as fast as they could?

Please don’t miss this conversation with one of the insurance industry’s most respected technology leaders. Stay ahead of the trends and win.
