Who Has Used a Mentor/coach to Grow Their Business?

[secondcreek]

Any recommended mentors for P&C insurance agents?

If you have used a coach, how long? What were the most tangible results? What intangible impact did it have?

i have a mentor, without him i think i would have been a very slow start.

having a mentor in our field is crucial IMO. he helped me learn the ropes, introduced me to carriers/gatekeepers/leads.

helped me tremendously. even though i think i've outgrown him, there is always a few situation that comes up that i have to goto him for him. hes kinda just in cruising mode and im servicing his clients.

Worked with somebody for the first 12-18 months but I stopped seeing the value at that point so I went in a different direction.

So where are you guys finding your mentors? Are you compensating them (assuming they aren't an upline of yours)?

i feel the same way, i think you can learn everything within a year with a good mentor. but with him i think it can take up to 3 years. but any how, i compensate my mentor by servicing his clients / book until he retires in a few years and they become mine.

it was kinda of a hybrid buyout/mentor program.
