The agent channel is complex and is currently moving at a pace we haven't seen before. Between the TSBs, "super agencies," and even the suppliers, it seems like there is an acquisition at every turn. As a result, this change has created a lot of chaos and uncertainty in the market.
With all the changes, a long list of questions begins to arise. For example, where do I invest my MDF funds? Is our channel strategy right? Is the channel even the right strategy? How do we meaningfully get the agent's attention? How do we differentiate ourselves in an ever-growing portfolio of suppliers?
