We often get questions at the Insurance Nerds Slack Channel on how one would open an agency. Carrier appointments, technology, sales, accounting and a whole host of other factors need to be addressed. In this episode of Profiles in Risk, Tony and I spoke with John Prichard Jr of Oli Insurance Services. Oli is a full-on support stack for every aspect of the brokerage business. Even a single person producer can get full back office support and market access using Oli, so that they can do what they do best. We also discussed the insurtech scene as it relates to agents and brokers and John provides some other advice to agents from his many decades of experience at Heffernan Insurance and at Oli seeing many hundreds of agencies.
