Steve Anderson wears many hats these days.He has been a licensed independent agent for almost 25-years and is Editor of The Automated Agency Report (TAAR), a monthly newsletter dedicated to providing independent agents with the insurance technology information they need to more effectively manage and grow their agencies.He is also president of steveanderson.com, Inc. which was formed to provide practical consulting services to the insurance industry on how to maximize profits using common sense technology.
Working as a manager and producer in two different independent agencies (one belonging to this father-in-law!) has provided him with a practical understanding of agency internal operations, marketing and sales management, and how an agency can most effectively use technology.Over the years, he has handled a full range of clients, specializing in the larger commercial accounts and continues to maintain his license.
Steve received his Bachelor's of Arts with a double major in business administration and economics from Taylor University and a Master's Degree in Insurance Law from Antioch School of Law.
Steve was thrust into the insurance business when his father-in-law, a sole proprietor of an independent agency, became ill and needed help.He quickly began his insurance career as a commercial underwriter for a major insurance company and after a short time joined his father-in-law's agency.He carved his own niche by receiving post-graduate training in computers, sales training and the practical application of direct response marketing principles.
Steve is a prolific writer who is known for his knack for translating "geek speak" into easily understood language.He is on the editorial staff of Rough Notes Magazine where his column, Agency Marketing Technology, appears bimonthly, is a Contributing Editor for Independent Agent magazine responsible for the monthly CyberNews column and is Editor of the monthly ACORD Advantage eNews.He also is Dean of the Technology Department for the IIABA Virtual University and a member of the national faculty for the Society of Certified Insurance Counselors.
Because he fine-tunes his ideas in the real world agents are faced with, Steve is one of the industry's top technology consultants and speakers.He provides keynote addresses, lectures, seminars, workshops, conference programs and individual agency and company consultations on how to maximize profits using common sense technology.A sample of topics can be found at www.steveanderson.com.
