b'In this special episode, Ryan breaks down how in a "Human-Optimized" Agency of the Future, efficiency isn\'t the answer to exponential growth.\\n\\nEfficiency may be part of the solution, but it\'s not the whole solution, and a lack of understanding of this concept is where many insurtech startups go wrong.\\n\\nThis is an episode you don\'t want to miss...\\n\\nEpisode Highlights:\\n\\nRyan believes that the Rouge model is proven to be productive, efficient, and replicable by anyone with the vision and guts to do so. (2:35)\\n\\n\\nRyan mentions that they are currently hiring at Rouge. Some of the positions they are looking for are aspiring chief revenue officers and producers. (6:11)\\n\\n\\nRyan explains that the positions available are not for traditional people but more for people that like to build relationships and have an open mind to a slightly different approach.

(27:08)\\n\\n\\nRyan mentions that an important part of a human-optimized model is the step-up process from self-service to automated, made by an inside force of licensed professionals and outsourced VAs. (31:48)\\n\\n\\nRyan explains that humans are still the most important part of the business, but if we push our customers directly to humans, we are limiting our ability to be efficient.

(36:24)\\n\\n\\n\\nKey Quotes:\\n\\n"If your traditional local, independent agency still dictates the way business will be done, I don\'t believe that you have a future in the industry. You can maintain it for sure, but you\'re not growing." - Ryan Hanley\\n\\n"I also saw a lot of people that still believe that humans are not the answer. Humans are still an incredibly vital part of our business, still the most important part of our business. However, if we push all our customers directly to our humans, always the way we want it to be done, we are limiting our ability to be efficient." - Ryan Hanley\\n\\n"This is where I think the business is going. This is where I think our industry is going. I\'m so bullish on the independent insurance industry. I just feel like this move to a human optimized model is the best way." - Ryan Hanley\\n\\n\\nResources Mentioned:\\n\\nReach out to Ryan Hanley\\n\\n\\nRogue Risk\\n\\nSIAA\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
