CHICAGO, March 11, 2024 – Jeff Kroeger, President of Insureon, spoke about growing a digital insurance agency on the Insurance Marketing & Communications Association (IMCA) Peer2Peer podcast.
Jeff talked to the podcast hosts about the benefits of a fully remote team – including the widespread access to talent this opportunity provides. He also touched on the ways Insureon maintains productivity and camaraderie among team members across 33 states.
Beyond team building, Jeff reflected on how the newer Chief Commercial Officer role is enabling streamlined collaboration between marketing and sales. He also mentioned how this combined approach can help marketers better understand customers and provide sales professionals with the right messaging and feedback to sell more effectively.
Additionally, Jeff shared how coordinating marketing and sales initiatives can be one of the biggest challenges for a company to manage.
