A Strategic Growth Move
ISNE’s executive director, Lee Thompson, highlighted the caliber of the newly added agencies, stating, “Individually and collectively, these agencies have built excellent relationships with many insurance carriers that we also partner with, shown a great commitment to the highest standard of service, and demonstrated consistent growth and profitability. Our network of Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire participants is thrilled to welcome these longstanding and highly respected Connecticut-based agencies.”
ISNE employs a rigorous qualifying process to ensure that prospective member agencies align with the network’s core values and performance expectations. According to Ed Ruhl, ISNE’s membership sales manager, “We take as much time as is needed to get to know an agency and to allow them to ask questions so they can make an informed decision.
