... any shareholder in an agency isn't creating value in proportion to the percentage held. Many agency principals suffer from high tax rates' imposed on them by such partners, but they can't quite identify the problem or the way to fix it. Well, it's time for a tax cut! A NEW APPROACH TO AGENCY PLANNING If you're a principal in a privately held insurance agency, establish a value creation quota for each shareholder. Here's how: A month before your next planning retreat, provide each shareholders with a statement showing the value of his or her share of the agency's stock. If you don't have an appraisal, simply use your best estimate. Put the desired rate of agency growth under that value-and if you don't aspire to growth exceeding 5%, you're in trouble. Then apply that ... to the dollar value of the shareholder's interest. The product is the value creation quota-the amount of value the shareholder needs to develop in the coming year. Assign shareholders to bring ideas for achieving their value creation quota to the planning retreat. If you used this approach as your strategic planning framework, it would create quite a stir! It might be like tossing a hand grenade into your next shareholder meeting-and if it is, so be it. The more disruptive it is, the more it's probably needed and the more your overtaxed partners will thank you. VALUE CREATION QUOTA EXAMPLE Here's what a value creation quota statement would look like for hypothetical agency principal Donna, the 20% shareholder of a $5 million-value agency: Value of Donna's 20% ownership stake: $1.0 million Agency target growth ...

John Graham ... /16/2014 12:00:00 AM If you're in sales, you know the feeling. It's the middle of the night about two weeks after starting a new job. You were enthusiastic and could hardly wait to get going. Now, your head is full of doubts. You try to shove them aside, but they don't go away. "Everything is new," you tell yourself. "I just need to give it a little more time." However, the doubts keep coming back. The gap between what you were told about the job and what's actually happening grows wider by the day. After about three weeks, you finally ask yourself, "Have I made a mistake?" All Articles by John Graham Comments (0 ) 1 2 3 4 ...
