A Very Big Holiday Thank You!

It’s been almost three years now since I started posting my Rob’s Rants blog every Friday morning on LinkedIn and on my website.  Today, I want to report back to you on just what an impact this blog has had on many people’s lives. 

Your many comments, texts, emails, and phone calls in response to Rob’s Rants have had quite an impact.

I want to thank all my loyal readers for making the following happen:

We have placed 12 candidates (loyal readers) in the past year with insurance clients.  Each one of these placements was a game-changer for the candidate.  They had been overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated by their former firms. 

They are doing very well in their new positions.  They have all reported back that being happy in their job and employer has made all the difference in their personal lives as well.

One candidate is now able to work remotely near her hometown where her grandchildren now live. 

Another has transitioned from working with a large broker based in WDC to a small independent agency in Roanoke.  She loves being back on the family farm while still working on high-profile client’s needs.

We secured three new insurance brokerage clients, one of which, has hired three of the candidates mentioned just above.

Your feedback was the inspiration behind, “2023 Employee Satisfaction Report”, which was published in July of 2023.  What started out as a report distributed to my regional insurance clients quickly expanded regionally to candidates/readers until achieving over 49,500 total readers among insurance professionals across the country.

A follow-on study is now being prepared that will report on what drives employees away from their current firms.  Looking at the initial findings, these results are going to surprise you. 

31 insurance professionals contacted me personally to tell me that our articles on managing their annual performance reviews and getting a raise ended up getting them significant raises and promotions!

I was asked to be one of the speakers at this year’s Independent Insurance Agents of Virginia (IIAV) Convention in Virginia Beach, VA on June 24th. The topic was, “Rob’s Secret Sauce on Hiring Insurance Producers.”  That was a lot of fun!

There are many other positive things that have come out of Rob’s Rants based on your continual feedback that have directly impacted the lives of our readers. Too many to write about here.

One thing is for sure:  We could not do this without you.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.
