Thoughts on websites, digital marketing, web tech and how it impacts the insurance industry. And a few personal stories, too. đ
I love technology. You should, too.
It’s the one thing we can all use to get an advantage.
It makes us more efficient. It saves us money. It allows us to reach more people.
Technology should also play a pretty big part in creating an awesome customer experience.
But, that doesn’t mean it replaces the human touch. People should always be what makes us and the experience we’re all trying to create (with the help of technology) special and memorable.
Here’s one little example… Read More

If youâve ever seen the movie âThe Internshipâ youâd probably agree with me that Google looks like the coolest place on earth to work. Nap pods. Slides instead of stairs. In house cafĂ© and dry cleaning. Team building games and challenges.
While nap pods in an insurance agency are not realistic and slides instead of stairs probably have you screaming “LIABILITY HAZARD!” thereâs something to take away from this: theyâre doing something right with creating a positive culture.

I test drove a Tesla Model X last week.
My dad wanted to try it. And, since I was visiting him and my mom in Florida, I went along for the ride.
A 2.9 seconds, zero to 60 MPH kind of ride!
If you haven’t felt speed like that, add it to your bucket list. Seriously. It’s Ludicrous!
Here’s my dad behind the wheel. Notice anything strange? Read More
Here’s a fun fact:
65% of the population consists of visual learners
I definitely fall into the 65%. Perhaps you do, too.
That’s why Clickable Coverage is so powerful. It makes insurance interesting, approachable and relevant for people and businesses. It’s a great sales tool.
