Chilling Monday!!

7:30 AM.  Scraping ice from my windshield.  9:30 AM Complaining about the heat in the office leads to turning on the A/C.  The month is more than halfway over and the office is ready to keep pushing for productivity and a strong morale.  Our goal is on track and that's the good thing, the bad thing is with this cold weather, I'm seriously considering relocating to Florida for the winter.  We're excited to see the entire office working "progressively" and getting things done.  We finally got rid of the giant non-working copier so we have a great spot for the new fridge and microwave.  On Saturday, besides closing 6 policies, we spent at least an hour capturing the bully in the fishtank to put him in timeout, that was quite the adventure.  (Note-to-self, fish are extremely fast and a tiny net is not the most effective way to catch one)  Today we'll be working on some training for a few of our carriers to make sure we're comfortable with some of the rating changes they have made.  We're trying to think of an agency mascot, if you have any ideas throw them my way.  Well I'd write some more but I've got to get going on my busy day!!! GO INSURE FIRST!!

Agent Spotlight: Steve Ostler

Steve is not only the handsome devil you see in the picture above, a terrific agent, and world's greatest father; he's also...wait for it.....the owner of the agency!!!! Steve is a one-of-a-kind man who is the definition of what every one involved in the insurance business strives to be.  Steve is able to functionally juggle owning a business, outselling every other agent with new business, and taking care of his beautiful family as well.  Steve's wife Angie is the co-owner of the agency (seen above) but takes advantage of the more important job of taking care of their awesome kids.  Steve graduated from Utah State with a degree in economics and has owned several businesses before settling into insurance.  Steve saw the tremendous potential in a well-managed insurance agency, the business is clean, honest, and everything Steve himself strives to be.  All of us at Insure First are proud to say we've never seen a business with more potential in our lives and we're so proud of what Steve has created.  He's an incredible guy with a great sense of humor.  There's a rumor through the grapevine that he's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, it's just a rumor...but I think he'll win!! Go Steve!
