For some working with family is a a great experience. For others, its a battle every day. In every business relationship there are always struggles, fights and disagreements. When you add in family there is another layer of expectations and feuds. So how can you make a family run insurance agency work?
It takes a plan and strategy as well as discipline and intention. Family owned insurance agencies are often legacy businesses, with the family name on the door and a promise of excellence. Succession planning and leadership transition must be carefully planned for, and roles and responsibilities need to be clearly defined. It is also important to balance the family dynamics with professional responsibility and keep drama at home. Technology must be embraced, but not overused, and compliance and finances must be managed to ensure the agency's success. External expertise should be sought when needed, and clear guidelines should be established to ensure everyone understands where the money is going.
Bottom line if you work with family you have family run insurance agency challenges. And we can help you tackle them!

Siblings working together in an insurance agency can be challenging, but also has many benefits. It is important to foster cooperative working environments and use each other's strengths wisely. Boundaries need to be established between personal and professional lives, and communication needs to be open and honest. Job descriptions should be set up from the beginning and wins should be celebrated. Nepotism should be avoided, and sibling rivalry should not be tolerated. Family relationships should be kept separate from business relationships, and respect should be shown in order to have a successful family-owned business.
Running a business with your siblings can leave a great family legacy. It can also destroy families. Structuring how to handle challenges before they arise is critical to being sibling business partners. Use your strengths and stay away from needling in on weaknesses. You are better together than apart!
