  • 134: How to Build a Thriving Insurance Agency: Insights from a Multi-Location Owner with David Peterson

    What's in this episode:

    - Running 3 offices

    - Adapting as a business owner

    - Creating good company culture

    - Keys to recruiting and hiring

    - Leaning into your strengths


    About David:

    Growing up as a State Farm kid, David has watched his father run a successful agency for 40 years.  After college, he became an agent team member for nearly 3 years with a high-level agent before deciding to go out on his own.

    After the first few years of struggles, David got serious about investing into his team and developing into a better leader.  With that came systems, processes, delegation, and specialization. He now has a large, stable team of professionals who are at the top of their game year after year.

    ​His goal is to share this knowledge with other agents and help them take care of their #1 asset - their teams.
