Just how the industry has an influence on what goes on with the rest of the world...everybody needs insurance.” - Ron Shroyer “If you take a deep look inside the opportunities you have, you can grow exponentially with the customers that are already at your door. It's way less expensive from a retention standpoint, and then also from a front-end organic growth standpoint. I mean, if you could save a point in retention, it makes it easier to get your growth goals in place.” - Ron Shroyer “We are good at understanding data and being able to give you a really strong insight based on that data. I look at that opportunity with Agency Zoom and running those trigger events and making our insights actionable.” - Ron Shroyer Resources Mentioned: Ron Shroyer LinkedIn Aureus Analytics DONNA for Agents Reach out to Ryan HanleyLearn more about your ad choices.
