The Details...

 

Schedule

The Agency Forum is structured to provide the ultimate learning experience while keeping today's busy executive in mind. The program consists of 6 integrated, 2-day sessions held over an 18 month period (each of the 6 sessions are approximately 3 months apart).

With this schedule, Members are not taken away from their offices for an extended period at one time and Members are given an opportunity to implement ideas and test their results between sessions.

Location

All sessions are conveniently located near the DFW Airport in Dallas for easy travel to and from each session.

The Return on Your Investment

Membership sounds like a lot, and it is. But consider this...for a $10 million revenue agency, the membership fees are 0.129% of annual revenue or approximately ½ of the average agency’s annual charity contributions.

If you completely implement just half of what you learn, your revenues will increase by at least 1% and your profit will increase by 5%.

For a $10 million revenue shop, this is a $100,000 return on a $12,900 expense. Would you consider that a good investment?

If your agency is worth 1.5 times revenues, that $100,000 is worth another $150,000–a minimum of a $250,000 return for a $12,900 investment!

Next to printing your own money, where else can you invest your money and get that kind of return?

Now consider this...if you take 25 agency management classes at various conventions, at $600 per convention, your total cost is $15,000. Plus, it’ll take you years and years to achieve what you can learn in just six sessions of The Agency Forum–and you can do it for less money in an integrated program using a coordinated methodology. You can learn in an open environment where agents share with each other rather than sitting tight-lipped for three solid hours.
