Vermont Business Magazine For the seventh consecutive year, Clark-Mortenson Insurance is part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States participating in the
Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) “Best Practices” Study Group. Each year since 1993, IIABA and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, join forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories. The agencies comprising the study groups are selected every third year through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process and awarded a “Best Practices Agency” designation. The selected “Best Practices” agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year.
“We consider this to be one of the insurance industry’s most prestigious accomplishments and we are honored to have been recognized. We’ve built our organization based on the actions and abilities of our
people and continually strive for superior client service and financial excellence. That’s what sets Clark-Mortenson apart,” says Thomas Minkler, Clark-Mortenson President. More than 1,800 independent agencies throughout the US were nominated to take part in the annual study, but only 254 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the top-performing agencies in one of six revenue categories. Clark-Mortenson was the only insurance agency in New Hampshire to be named as a Best Practices Agency.
The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies documents the business practices of the highest performing agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices.
