Description

The modern market is designed to crush the independent agency. For many, the goal is no longer to thrive; it's just to survive in an increasingly hostile environment.


But you don't have to go it alone. My guest, Pam Schlotzhauer of United Benefit Advisors (UBA), is here with the game plan for how independent agencies can fight back, thrive, and scale. In this conversation, we break down the UBA model of collaboration over competition, a framework that gives members the collective buying power, shared expertise, and cutting-edge tools to compete with the giants.
