It was with a sense of disbelief that I read the guest column in the October issue of American Agent & Broker, “Get on Board or Get out of the Way” by CIAB president Ken Crerar, in which he suggests that small and midsize insurance agencies consider going out of business.
Such a suggestion, aside from being insulting, is built upon questionable assumptions, specifically MarshBerry predictions that in 7 years there will be only 3,500 agencies in the country with premium volumes of $500,000 or less and an explosion in the number of very large firms.
