I really, really enjoyed your presentation last week at the Technology conference in Greensboro. The content of your presentations as well as the way the information was presented was enlightening, informative and exciting. Nice job!
Mark Devereaux, VP Marketing & Sales, Jenesis Software

Steve, you were great yesterday. You were so alert with juggling the mikes, tweaking the projector masks, pointing out details in the presenters slides - in fact every little detail... and I mentioned before what a good move it was to add some Q&A time when we had a few spare moments at the end of the first half.

We really appreciate all you did to help make the program a success and look forward to working with you in the future.

Steve Anderson's passion for finding new ways for technology to help insurance agencies' bottom line is positively infectious. At the IIANC Agency Mgmt and Technology Conference in May 2006 his presentations regarding dual computer monitor systems convinced our agency to implement them and now we don't know how we ever survived in the days of a single monitor.

In a recent Agency Management CIC course he gave so many good suggestions regarding agency websites that our agency is already planning ways to implement more client options on our site.

You simply can't attend any class or seminar with Steve and not come back to your agency full of fresh ideas.

    Great class. I attend every conference, and I always take something new away.
    He is terrific in his knowlege and projecting of what could be used where. Very informative if you choose to implement it in your agency or in your life.
    A great class as always. Sign up every year to get the newest info and freebies.
    Should have 2 sessions on this one!
    Deserves a longer time-slot. Always beneficial with invaluable tools.
    I had fun and liked the way the session opened me up to thinking a little differently. Taking notes back for producers.
    Good speaker and session was most valuable as a way to rethink what tools we use and what else is available.
    Very thought provoking and interesting. Would like to learn more!
    Steve is an excellent speaker, full of great knowledge.
    Steve is always informative with new suggestions to review.

Dear Mr. Anderson,
    I attended your seminar at the Illinois PIIAI Convention on "How to Make Your Agency Look Good." I just wanted to let you know how informative I thought the talk was, and how inspired I was afterwards.
    Some of our current procedures were given as examples (thank you notes, handwritten notes, follow-up calls on receipt of policy, etc.). That was great, knowing we are on the right track so far. Plus, the other items you mentioned... 24CSR, website hints, etc... were all extremely informative.
    Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing you speak in the future.

Not enough time for this course, excellent speaker.

Needs more time!

Steve does an excellent job at interacting with his audience.

Now that the dust has settled I wanted to take the opportunity to write and thank you for your attendance and participation in FAIA's 96th Anniversary Convention & Education Symposium. I heard many positive remarks regarding your breakout session during the remainder of the convention. It was great to work with you again. You are a true professional who knows the subject matter and presents it with energy and enthusiasm.
Cindy Molnar, Executive Assistant/Meeting Planner, FAIA

Thanks again for you contribution to our convention. Everyone was still “buzzing” with the information you gave us – a sure sign we need to get you back to SC.
Frank Sheppard, IIA of SC

I can’t thank the two of you (Rick Morgan and Steve) enough for your participation in our first Automation Day. And don’t think for a moment this is one of those “form letter” thank you. You have created quite a flurry in our little state.

I wanted to especially pass along how impressed everyone was that this was the first tandem performance for the two of you. In my opinion, it could not have been scripted more smoothly. Also, I heard numerous comments about how accessible each of you remained throughout the seminar—that is a rarity for speakers. And finally, thank you for how well you interpreted the needs of this audience: Your message was consistently aimed at the agency managers/owners in a way that made them excited, rather than intimidated about the possibilities of automation.

Comments continue to come in regarding the session. Just Monday, a Board member thanked me for getting his partner to recognize the importance of passive email. They implemented it the week after your session – (the Board member had been campaigning for two years). Another Board member finally got his senior partner to entertain some agency management system bids—a subject that has been taboo for over a year.

And one of our own Automation Committee members has implemented desktop faxing, electronic filing, and passive email, all since the session. Seems his brother/partner was previously reluctant—still on a DOS-driven 486--but after attending the session is now a technology advocate!
Carol L. Dulle, Vice President of Operations, Missouri Association of Insurance Agents

I wanted to thank you for attending our program. Your presentation was dynamite. I learned many new things. Probably most important was stimulating thought for the future. It is both frightening and exciting. I have placed your web page as "Favorite" on my browser. I also placed my agency on the IIA Web Factory web site.
Mike Walston, IIAW Automation Committee Member

Steve Anderson is great!!!
Anderson -- great speaker.
Steve Anderson’s presentations were the most beneficial I’ve been to at a CIC or Ruble seminar in over five years. Thank you!
Comments from some recent CIC evaluations

Thanks for you informative article in Rough Notes. I picked up more valuable information in five minutes of reading than I had experienced in three months of agency sales meeting!
Peter J. Reynold, CIC, Oppenheim Insurance

I found your article entitled “Ten Marketing Mistakes Most Agents are Making” most helpful to our agency. Thank you for supplying such a thought-provoking article that is the basis for our newly automated marketing program.
Janette Drake, Marketing Coordinator, The Bethpage Agency

I read your article in Rough Notes and found it to be very informative. Your article was the best that I have read on the subject of company submissions and I can see why your presentations must get to the top of the pile. Congratulations.
Donald F. Seitz, President, Seitz & Co., Inc.

It was a pleasure reading your article on Company Submissions. Thank you in advance for sharing your experience with your fellow agents.
Robert M Pratt, RMP Insurance Center, Thousand Oaks, CA

I found your article provided very helpful ideas and I am sure, when followed, will produce positive results.
Carolyn M. Mazzara, Mazzara Agency, Amherst, NY

Steve, first and foremost this was an excellently written article. I have just completed a seminar to the other Property and Casualty producers and support staff.
