New Year's resolutions, planning, promises, a fresh start...whatever we call it, it's an act or process to achieve or do something.

Planning does nothing! Read on to discover what you can do to have the most successful year ever!

 

Available Now at The Institutes
Unlike other books you might have read about insurance sales and service, this one doesn't offer you a script to memorize. It doesn't rehash sales and service strategies you probably already know. And it doesn't focus on generating revenues for the sake of getting rich. It does, however, provide a method of defining specifically what you, as an individual, aim to achieve. For information on how to purchase the book, contact Debra Parker.

From Richard Coskren:

Polestar and The Institutes... A perfect match

As the industry's trusted and respected knowledge leader, The Institutes and its affiliates are committed to meeting the evolving professional development needs of the risk management and insurance community. Through research and discussions with Polestar, The Institutes determined that there was an opportunity to help scale Polestar's business model while also increasing their impact among agents and brokers.  

As a result, Polestar Performance Programs, Inc. became a member of The Institutes Risk and Insurance Knowledge Group last November. What does this mean for our graduates and those we look to serve in the future? While Polestar's leadership team and coaches will remain in place, as will our products and services, we now have immediate and ongoing access to the incredible knowledge resources of The Institutes.

Speaking for the Polestar family, we couldn't be more pleased with the events of the past few months. We are incredibly excited to embark on what is a new beginning.

Thank you for your support.
