What to have ready when a Reno County, KS insurance agency calls
A first call takes less preparation than a full application. An agency owner can have these at hand:
- The agency's legal name and how long it has operated under the current owner
- Annual revenue as a range, taken from last year's commission statements
- The amount in mind and what it pays for: a producer hire, a book purchase or new agency software
- Current loans or lines and their monthly payments
- The phone number and email a partner should use
Call (620) 261-8939, or send the same details through the online request, which asks for contact information, the company name and ranges for time in business, annual revenue and the amount. Documents wait until a partner asks for them.
To go over a request face to face, come to 24 S Main St, Hutchinson, KS 67501; calling ahead of a visit lets the owner confirm someone can sit down with them.
