Friday, February 7, 2020

The National Association of State Farm Agents (NASFA) is heading to Las Vegas and invites you to attend our next Town Hall Meeting. Network with other agents and join us for a day of educational and legal discussions on the state of the independent State Farm Agent.

Scott Grates is our Town Hall speaker. Scott is the author of Insurance Agency Optimization book. He is also the founder of the virtual insurance coaching website, Insurance Agency Optimization. 

Scott's been included in the Chairman’s Circle four times, awarded SVP six times, Auto and Fire PIF gain for 10 consecutive years. Scott opened from scratch December 1, 2009 in a tiny rural market in Central New York. Travel for 10 consecutive years (6 times level 3). 

Grates noted: “I am known as an Agent who takes a ‘contrarian approach’ to our industry. Which is to say: when the masses are moving in one direction I head in the other. It is my agency mission to be different than the competition. We do things others won’t and others don’t. This approach has allowed us to stand out and stand above all others in a small, but highly competitive market space.”
