Do you know what your insurance agents are passionate about? If you run an agency that has a family like atmosphere, then you should understand what each person enjoys doing and how that affects their work. Customer service and community building can only be strengthened if everyone on your team is engaged and loves what they do.
Encouraging your agents to follow their passion can help inspire them to continue growing and learning about the industry. As technologies, services, and clients change, it is important to keep track of the goals of the agency and understand how that relates to your employees. Here are some tips to create a climate that will motivate your team to do their best work and follow their dreams in the process:

• Excite your employees by establishing a community vision that has a purpose and clear goal.
• Be a role model by maintaining a positive attitude.
• Communicate with everyone respectfully to continue building strong relationships within the agency.
• Provide employees with the opportunity to be creative. This will challenge them and help them stay motivated.
• Show that you care about your employees’ success by providing them with trainings and opportunities for growth.
