I would have to say that the best agency manager experience I had was my agency manager from Farm Bureau Financial Services. His name was Micah. He was a very kind, knowledgeable, fun-loving guy, but he always had the right ways to motivate you to hit the number. Old slogans like, when you're starting in the agency, know that you're hunting, but you're going to turn over to farming, and farming leads instead of hunting leads. Or quotes like, people do business with whom they know, like, and trust. Or other matters like, always do it right the first time to avoid the consequences of not doing it the first time. Those little sayings would make your head spin, and he would always come out with little contests and incentives and lighthearted jokes. He always acknowledged his agents' birthdays and births of people in our families within our district agency. It was fun to work for him, and he always motivated all of his agents to keep their head in the game, keep positive, and to always perform to the best of their ability.
