QUICK SUMMARY:
Jump Suit Group has formed a new partnership with The Insurance Index with the goal of becoming the industries top resource for all things tech. Steve Mohr (Strategic Consultant for NowCerts) and Connor MacNeil (Founder of Jump Suit Group) sit down to discuss exactly what people can expect from the new and improved Insurance Index.
1. The Backstory: How It All Began
Steve’s journey into the world of insurance tech didn’t follow a straight path (does anyone’s really?). From corporate beginnings at Allstate to jumping into the independent agency world with Lightspeed Voice, he’s got stories. But the real magic started when he launched the Insurance Industry Index. What began as a side hustle has grown into a go-to resource for agents nationwide. Events, influencers, tech—you name it, Steve’s covering it. And now? Jump Suit Group is partnering up to relaunch it with even more juice!
2. The Index Relaunch: What’s New?
So, what’s this relaunch all about? The Index has been around for three years and is evolving from its humble beginnings as an event platform. The new version is set to provide deeper insights, featuring influencers and industry bigwigs, showcasing tech trends, and sharing news that matters to agents. Think of it as your one-stop shop for all things insurance.
3. Why Events Still Matter (Even in the Digital Age)
You’ve heard it before: events are where the action is! Steve is quick to emphasize that while tech is cool, nothing beats in-person events. It’s not just about networking; it’s about connecting, learning, and growing with the community. If you’re a vendor or an agent trying to figure out which event is worth your time, the Index has got your back. And yes, Steve’s been to them all—he’s like the insurance world’s "World Wide Wes"
4. Tech and the Index: Bringing Agents Up to Speed
Let’s face it—insurance and tech haven’t always been besties. But we're determined to change that. From building lead generation platforms like Momentum Lead X to curating the best tools for agencies, he’s all about making sure agents have the right resources at their fingertips. He’s not just building tech; he’s building connections and simplifying the way agents manage and grow their businesses.
5. Influencers and Insights: More Than Just a Buzzword
We all know influencers can get a bad rap, but Steve and I have a different take. In the insurance industry, these folks are the real deal—they’re the ones who research, network, and share insights that actually help agents thrive. People like Ryan Hanley are more than just talking heads; they’re passionate advocates who know their stuff. The Index will feature these voices, bringing their knowledge directly to agents who want to stay ahead of the curve.
6. The Power of Authentic Content (Why Canned Doesn’t Cut It)
In a world full of AI-generated posts and repetitive content, Steven’s goal with the Index is to keep things personal and engaging. Authenticity is the name of the game. With the help of Jumpsuit Group (hey, that’s us!), we’re putting out content that’s not just informational but also engaging and useful. Think stories, real-life experiences, and advice from people who’ve been there and done that.
7. Virtual Assistants and Insurance: The Next Frontier
A hot topic in the industry right now? Virtual Assistants (VAs). As agencies grow and demand more efficiency, VAs are becoming a game-changer. From managing leads to taking care of administrative tasks, they free up time so agents can focus on the big stuff. Steven and I are excited to cover this topic, sharing how agencies can leverage VAs to level up their operations—without breaking the bank.
