There ISN’T a Talent Shortage; Give Agents the Resources They Need

Guest Sarah Muniz is a long-time advocate for female employment and empowerment as well as an expert on branding, marketing, and agency operations. Today, she shares with host Jim Schubert her insights about the talent shortage issues business leaders are finding themselves dealing with, or rather, that it isn’t what they think it is. And not only for female agents applying in the industry, but all businessmen and women, tune in to the Agents Growth Academy podcast today for tips on how to advocate for yourself if you are seeking a job, promotion, or adequate training in your field.
You can't put people in boxes and assume you know what they want until you talk to them.

3 Key Takeaways

  • It’s not about facing a talent shortage. It’s about a lack of training and incentivization that leads to less top-notch workers. 
  • ​Sarah is not an anomaly; there are women in the insurance industry all over. It’s time to give them the voice they deserve. 
  • ​This industry needs to have a safe space for discussion between anyone; that’s how you create change.
