Key Quotes:

• “I developed a love for insurance agency automation, improving efficiency and operations in an agency, and really thrived in that environment, and was doing the accounting for that agency… But, I really found my passion was more on the automation and operation side.” – Angela Adams
• “I think people who are drawn to the insurance environment have a very high desire to help people, and I think it’s why women thrive in this environment. Because, naturally, we’re very nurturing and helpful, and this industry gives us a way to do that.” – Angela Adams
• “If we can do the accounting or the operations management for an agency, then the agency owners can focus on what they do really well, which is generally selling insurance and growing their agency… And, by taking the things off of them that they’re not good at doing, they do better as an agency. That’s how we’ve grown, is by helping our agencies achieve their goals.” – Angela Adams
