This session will teach agents how to build enough relevance within the industry to compete with larger agencies. During this process, the power of social media should not be underestimated, and harnessing its capabilities can help you scale your business.
Marburger urges agents to remember two important things when growing their business: "Work ethic trumps everything, and acquisition solves all problems."
Adam Marburger is a serial entrepreneur that lives his life in three buckets; insurance, real estate, and martial arts. He is the president and CEO of Ascent Dealer Services, an insurance agency specializing in building wealth for automotive, RV, and power-sports dealers across the country. Marburger plays the role of President and CEO of the Marburger Investment Group and A2 Investments. These companies focus on residential and commercial real estate. His passion for real estate started in his early 20s when he met his mentor, who paved the way. Marburger's most recent company is very close to his heart. He owns and operates Alton Family Martial Arts & Fitness, located in Alton, IL. Marburger is a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and holds National Champion and six-time World Medalist titles.
Now in its 11th year, Agent Summit is designed to benefit agents and agencies of all sizes, levels of experience and catering to multiple specialties. The 2022 agenda is comprised of the general Agent Summit educational tract, the Participation & Reinsurance Symposium, breakouts targeting agencies of different levels, and a tract dedicated to New Business Opportunities.
