Shepard Walton King Included in IIABA's Best Practices Study
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 22, 2013 -- Shepard Walton Insurance Group 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 are extremely pleased to be recognized and included in this elite group of leading insurance agencies from across the United States,” says Bob Shepard, President of Shepard Walton King Insurance Group.
More than 1,100 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to take part in the annual study, but only 216 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in one of six revenue categories.
The agency was nominated by either an IIABA affiliated state association or an insurance company and qualified based on its operational excellence.
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 “best” agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices.
Shepard Walton Insurance Group was founded in 1995 and can offer insurance products from a number of different companies including: Aetna, AIG, Aflac, Banner Life, BlueCross BlueShield of Texas, Chubb, Cigna, Colonial Penn, Columbia, Guardian, Hartford, Humana, John Hancock, Insuros Indemnity, Liberty Mutual, Principal, Prudential, The Republic, Texas Mutual, Travelers, Union Standard, United Fire Group, Unum and many others.
