Session III: The Joint Business Planning Process

Armed with the information gathered during the needs assessment and the co-developed, fully functioning agency management plan, we are now ready to look ahead and jointly plan for mutual success in the coming year. We have created a value-proposition for our partnership agent that is second-to-none. We have established mutual accountabilities and our now managing our key relationships proactively, decisively and productively. We have aligned our mutual objectives and agreed on performance requirements. We are ready for the Joint Business Planning process. All we need to do now is formalize our plan, elevate our objectives, and determine the performance metrics. This we’ll do, and more. When we are done, you will know exactly what you’ll write, when it will be written, who will write it, how much you’ll retain, and how profitable you’ll be. Perfect.

Key Discussion Points:

  • The 80-20 business flow rule.
  • Building and managing an accurate Joint Business Plan.
  • Monitoring, adjusting, and supporting the plan for maximum production, retention, efficiency, and profitability.
  • The critical nature of performance-based agency objectives.
  • “You can’t hide those lying eyes” – the numbers tell the story, the whole story.
  • Where do we go from here? Building for the future.

We recognize that the ARM Performance Program is as intensely active as it is comprehensive. It can also be an uncomfortable jolt to any underwriter that prefers to work with a desk full of files rather than work in partnership with the people. Our coaches for this program are especially sensitive to the difficulties every organization encounters when introducing a new business model and they are fully prepared to manage the change process while keeping all participants on the bus. Additional support will be provided, as follows:

  • Unlimited on-line coaching for all participants.
  • Home Office executive briefing sessions following each “loop” through the field.
  • Unlimited telephone contact for all Home Office and Profit Center management personnel.
  • Unlimited use of the online Coaching Forum.
  • Immediate deployment to “Hot Spots” and under-performing Profit Centers.
  • Assistance with staff performance evaluations and recommendations.
