You might remember Agency Performance Partners when I interviewed Kelly Donahue-Piro in episode 88 of Profiles in Risk. Listen as David and I discuss the sort of deep planning, coaching and consulting that goes on that allows Agency Performance Partners to lift the results of an agency’s customer experience, renewal rates & new business sales. As David describes it, the entire process is about shifting the culture to a results-oriented focus for the agency owners and staff. **CONNECT WITH DAVID SIEKMAN:** LinkedIn: **[https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidsiekman/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidsiekman/) ** Agency Performance Partners Homepage: **[https://www.agencyperformancepartners.com/](https://www.agencyperformancepartners.com/) ** **MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:** **The Red Queen by Matt Ridley: [https://amzn.to/2K1gnIz](https://amzn.to/2K1gnIz)  ** **HubSpot: [https://www.hubspot.com/](https://www.hubspot.com/)  ** **Insightly: [https://www.insightly.com/](https://www.insightly.com/)  ** **Proposify: [https://www.proposify.com/](https://www.proposify.com/) ****Docusign: [https://www.docusign.com/](https://www.docusign.com/)  ** **e-Signatures: [https://esignatures.com/](https://esignatures.com/) ** **BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY DAVID:** **They Ask You Answer by Marcus Sheridan: [https://amzn.to/2llYPw0](https://amzn.to/2llYPw0) ** **SUBSCRIBE AT:** **Buzzsprout RSS: [https://goo.gl/5K4X3Q](https://goo.gl/5K4X3Q) ** **Google Play: [https://goo.gl/WMAvW4](https://goo.gl/WMAvW4) ** **iTunes: [https://goo.gl/7SqwvP](https://goo.gl/7SqwvP) ** **Overcast: [https://goo.gl/8b4cbD](https://goo.gl/8b4cbD) ** **Stitcher: [https://goo.gl/DmE7Mi](https://goo.gl/DmE7Mi) ** **YouTube: [https://goo.gl/1Turar](https://goo.gl/1Turar) ** ![](https://insnerds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Lamparelli-100x100-Jan-03-2025-01-03-11-6162-AM.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=Lamparelli-100x100-Jan-03-2025-01-03-11-6162-AM.jpg) ![](https://insnerds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Lamparelli-100x100-Jan-03-2025-01-03-11-6162-AM.jpg?width=100&height=100&name=Lamparelli-100x100-Jan-03-2025-01-03-11-6162-AM.jpg) ### About Nicholas Lamparelli Nick Lamparelli is a 20+ year veteran of the insurance wars.
