Successful agents have understood that one of the most critical components of retaining clients is being the only agent they interact with. By ensuring that your agency is able to effectively, systematically and professionally determine your client’s needs and then offer products that will meet those needs, you will be able to affect both the retention of current clients while also developing a better quality of referrals from those same clients.
