Bridging The Performance Gap
HOW TO TRANSITION FROM IDEAS TO EXECUTION
When I look at agencies, the reason some sputter or plateau is a performance gap. This is the gap between what we know and what we actually do. If I were to draw it, it would look like two mountains with a valley in the middle. But unlike the valleys found in nature, which take thousands of years to form, the performance gaps I see in agencies develop almost instantaneously.
What causes these gaps? And why do so many agencies and producers fail to execute? Some of the main reasons are:
- Lack of a meaningful, achievable goal. Most agencies really have no end in mind. If you were to ask them, “Where do you want to be in three years?” they wouldn’t have a clear answer, because they haven’t taken the time to think about it. Instead, they just sort of wander.

Why Wait To Be Great?
TALK BACK TO THE “HEAD TRASH” THAT’S IMPEDING YOUR PROGRESS
One of the key teaching points at our ProducerFit programs is that if you’re going to put the time in anyway, you might as well be great at what you do! Also, you might as well be great sooner rather than later.
Whether you’re an agency owner, leader, producer or whatever, why wait to be great? Assuming you expect to be in this great business for another five, 10, 15, 20 years or more, why not make greatness your goal? (I certainly hope that mediocrity is not your goal.)
As one of my readers, you know that this truly is an amazing business, with so many terrific opportunities awaiting those who take the right actions. So why is it that so many wait to be great? Sadly, the vast majority of those who wait never experience the freedom of greatness and subsequently face the dreaded regrets of mediocrity at the end of their careers.

What if you could increase your agency's retention by just 3%? What would that mean for your bottom line?
Remember, it's not just what you make, but what you keep.
Here is what 3% means to agencies based on their revenue size (this doesn't even include account revenue increases, rounding out, or earned referrals)
$1,000,000 = $30,000
$3,000,000 = $90,000
$5,000,000 = $150,000
$10,000,000 = $300,000
$25,000,000 = $750,000
Our goal at Sitkins is 99% effective retention!
