Tom Doran – Partner at Reagan Consulting

Industry leading valuation specialist: 'Here's what to do if you want to remain independent...'

Leading agencies rush to get the Best Practices Study from Reagan Consulting every year. They want key metrics on agency performance – and they want to see how they can do better. Reagan principal and SVP, Tom Reagan delivers one of the most important conversations of the year in this jam-packed episode:

• The dramatic shift in agency valuation, agency sales – and the 3 forces that are pushing these trends higher than ever in the history of the industry.
• Two surprising metrics every agency must pay attention to (WAPA & WASA) – and what to do if your number is too high!
• Tom's 3-part action plan for the coming age of insurtech, that agency principals absolutely must attend to immediately

Note from Michael: I’ve been chasing Tom for 8 months to deliver this podcast. I saw his presentation at the AppliedNet Executive Leadership Conference and simply knew that he’d deliver hard-core information that our listeners needed to hear. As one of the industry’s leading M&A specialists, he has a unique seat on what’s driving value – and, conversely, what those forces and trends are that can hurt your agency. This conversation is so utterly important, I urge you to share it with at least every principal in your agency. Be prepared to take notes!
