+1 on the referrals. I had my own insurance agency and also did financial planning. Then changed to securities only and had employees do the insurance.

Besides referrals, require each employee to ask every customer who calls for service, who does their retirement planning, and who helps them with their investments. Many calls for service can lead to sales of other products.


He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
