Can I Put This Training Off Until Next Month?

We find it makes a HUGE difference when you attend a CEO training as soon as possible. The CEO training is the foundational start to the Astonish partnership and agency growth. It’s critical that the owners and managers attend this event prior to training your staff and going live with your new Virtual Insurance Office. The next CEO training will not be until the following month. We strongly recommend making this a priority right out of the gate! But don’t take our word for it:

I thought the CEO conference was excellent, much different from what I had anticipated. It was right on target with emphasizing the cultural change necessary within the agency system and offering useful tools for implementation and change. It’s apparent as to why Astonish has had such success to date.

“I ended up going to the CEO training and was quite surprised. There was some cheer-leading, but mostly it was information that I could use on a daily basis. I was in a room full of NEW people and EXPERIENCED people. The more I listened and let my guard down, the more information that I could absorb. I paid attention to the questions coming from the audience and even more attention to Adam and Tim. It was a great use of my time. I learned a lot from the meeting and got to spend some quality one on one time with my RFM after the meeting. I was glad that I opened myself up to listen and be positive. I’m looking forward to what the changes are going to do for my business.”

“Your CEO training session blew me away. I thought the training would involve learning how to kickoff the Astonish program within my office. What I received was that AND a whole lot more. The event motivated me to not only embrace Astonish and lead the changes needed within my office, but it made me think about so much more. I brought back the necessary information needed to change the culture within my agency plus I learned some great management skills from your team!”

“The CEO training was fabulous! The entire experience was positive, and I feel it was an important part of getting our agency off the starting line. CEO Training helped me to better “share the vision” with our associates and help them move in the direction that we are taking the agency. The evening dinner helped set the tone and excitement for the next day and re-energized me to help our agency hit the next level. As the head of our business, it was valuable to me for the primary purpose of having a strong understanding of what we were trying to accomplish, and how to actually share the vision with my staff. Being from the “old school” of technology this really helped me to understand the process and why things are done like they are. Astonish, has had a positive impact on our agency and helped us begin the transition from a good sales organization that provided great service to a great sales organization that provides great service! This entire process is a journey, being able to serve the traditional customer and the modern consumer is a must if we are to be a survivor in this business industry that we all love! I really believe that it would be beneficial for others in our agency to attend the training, not just the CEO. That is my plan.”

“I was reviewing the policies written since the changes have started and I am seeing a MAJOR increase in sales. We are growing at rapid speed!!! Since we started this new way of doing things, I have at least doubled the amount of policies written and within 4 months have more than tripled the amount of premium I bring in. I keep a running spreadsheet to keep track of everything and have for some time. This is for NEW policies only (not rewrites)
June I sold $6,338 in premium (before we changed everything)
Then in July -$13,733
August -$14,898,
September -$18,035
So far for October -$22,330
Thanks Astonish Training!”
