Vice President, Senior Commercial Producer-LA

A lot of insurance agencies make the cliche statement, “We’re always looking to hire good producers.” The reality is the very best, most progressive retailers build a business model in the image of national brokerages without losing their regional identity. Capstone’s success in matching experienced insurance producers with this client is because we appreciate at some point it’s not a question of whether a person can sell. Its about bringing together an agency’s business model with a producer’s specialization at the right time for both parties.
In the South we are in a position to introduce you to a retail brokerage client that is aggressively growing in a new way, through the identification and acquisition of experienced specialty producers. The company offers a niche driven model with centralized client service, claims and risk management resources to provide technical support in these verticals. If you’re a producer whose sales success is due to platform specialization we would like to discuss their plans in the following areas:

  • Healthcare/medical malpractice
  • Transportation
  • Energy (oil & gas)
  • Agriculture/agribusiness
  • Real estate
  • Hospitality

Many of these verticals were created because of the ambition of a senior producer. There are opportunities within this company for an incoming producer to create and build a platform. Even if your area of expertise is different from the list above we’d still like to visit with you about a potential match with this client. Please contact Scott Thompson for a confidential conversation.
