Working ON & IN the Business

Working ON & IN the Business
For more than 20 years now, Premier’s Mission has been an intense focus on Premier Partner Agencies’ Success and Aligning with our Carrier Partners and exceeding their benchmarks.
To that end we’ve learned some things along the way. Today we are better and stronger than ever. We have more resources for you to help you work both ON the business and IN the business and are one of the largest and fastest growing groups in the country (please see About Us tab for more).
At Premier, 1 size does NOT fit all. But there are some characteristics that are undeniable in optimizing one’s success. Perhaps you might be able to have a degree of success alone but the vast majority of the time people and organizations are better with a playbook and set of best practices and people that can provide mentorship, coaching and feedback – people that have PROVEN EXPERIENCE and have your back to help you to optimize opportunities and also help you to identify the booby traps. This enables you to get to where you want to be FASTER, EASIER, and w LESS PAIN.
This is what we do at Premier. A full-time effort using the Premier Playbook can yield a very positive margin for you over time. But it requires both working ON the business and IN the business by you.
3 Foundations of Working ON the Business – stepping back periodically to analyze and act upon your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats in 3 Strategic Areas:
1. Vision & Strategy – Know your end game at a point in time… Determine how you will get there to achieve what it is you desire and recognize the factors that make our business dynamic. As such your plans and achieving ACTUAL TO PLAN must be adaptable to a changing market.
