After a successful stint as an associate agent I purchased the book of business from the agency owner and took over the business. Hired agents and increased the size of the agency by 50% over a three year period. Much of this was done during a time of noncompetitive pricing. We focused on value and service and implemented successful processes. During that time we sold 1500 accounts worth about $2 million in premiums.
