Bank officers are unwilling to expose some of their most significant and profitable banking relationships for the chance to earn a small referral fee on insurance activities. Conversely, many of the very best insurance accounts, such as contractors, trucking companies, and other higher-risk businesses, tend to be poor banking relationships.

Offering banking and insurance services makes strategic sense ... , combining them seems logical. However, before entering a serious, binding relationship with another entity, ask yourself why you're joining forces-and take an objective look at your answer. Consider these two examples: I recently met with an agency and a bank who were working to form a strong strategic relationship. They were located in a small Midwestern town and had been in business with the same owners, officers, and producers for many years. I asked them, separately, why they wanted to join together.

However, as your agency grows, its needs change, and you may be faced with the challenge-or opportunity-of finding a new banking partner ... . You should also be ready to explain annual fluctuations in your revenues and expenses. Customer base, competitive insurance company rates, and changes within your sales staff may all affect your commissions revenue.
