College Park, Maryland, September 2004 -- Joseph W McCartin Insurance, Inc. has been selected to be part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States participating in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) “Best Practices” Study Group.
More than 900 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated to take part in the annual study, but only 195 agencies qualified for the honor. To be chosen, agencies had to be the top-performing agencies in their revenue category. The agency was nominated by either an IIABA affiliated state association or an insurance company and qualified based on its outstanding customer service, growth, stability and financial management.
The Best Practices Study was initiated by IIABA in 1993 as the foundation for efforts to improve agency performance. The annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies documents the business practices of these “best” agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices.
Joseph W McCartin Insurance, Inc. was founded in 1967 and can offer insurance products from a number of different companies including Erie Insurance , Harford Mutual, Safeco and Transamerica.
