COLUMBUS — Galloway Chandler McKinney Insurance retains its Best Practices status for the eighth consecutive year, once again becoming a part of an elite group of independent insurance agencies around the United States. This status comes by participating in the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA) Best Practices Study group.
The annual survey and study of leading independent insurance agencies documents the business practices of the “best” agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices. “We’re pleased to be acknowledged by our industry’s leading professional organization,” states Managing Member Brandt Galloway. “This honor recognizes that at every level, Galloway Chandler McKinney Insurance and its employees are committed to providing the best possible service and products for our clients. The fact that we’ve received the Best Practices designation eight years in a row speaks to the consistency of that commitment.”
Since 1993, IIABA and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, have joined forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six revenue categories. The agencies comprising the study groups are selected every third year through a comprehensive nomination and qualifying process and awarded “Best Practices Agency” designations. Galloway Chandler McKinney Insurance was nominated by multiple carriers and associations and qualified based on its operational excellence. The selected Best Practices agencies retain their status during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review each year. This is the second year of the current three-year study cycle.
Of the more than 20,000 independent agencies across the country, only 262 qualified as Best Practices agencies. To be chosen, the agency had to be among the 35-45 top-performers in one of six revenue categories. Galloway-Chandler-McKinney Insurance has served residents in north Mississippi and west Alabama for 29 years. The agency writes commercial and personal insurance and has offices in Columbus, West Point, Starkville, Amory and Aberdeen.
