You’re about to go on a journey
It seems daunting
But you can do it
How do I know?
Because I’ve been there
About Me
I began my insurance career with Nationwide Insurance in 1994 as a Claims Representative in Charlotte N.C. Over the next seven years I rose to various management positions until I decided I wanted to pursue my dream of finally owning my own company. I quit corporate america and with a laptop, phone and one employee, I began the Mauceri Agency in Mckinney, Texas. At the time, The Mauceri Agency only represented Nationwide Insurance.
Eventually we hit a ceiling on growth with only one carrier. I knew that to continue to grow, the agency would have to start representing different carriers. As a result, in 2010, I separated from Nationwide and became an independent broker, representing multiple carriers.
How I Can Help
Here’s the deal – pulling the trigger on going independent was one of the most difficult decisions of my career, and actually making the switch? Even more difficult. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, and worked harder then I ever have, but in the end, it was the best decision I could have made for myself and my business. As of this year my business has grown ten fold, I’ve made the acquisition of another agency, and the Mauceri-Bynum Insurance agency has been voted best insurance agency by Mckinney Magazine four years in a row.
It takes a wise man to learn from his mistakes, but an even wiser one to learn from the mistakes of others. Right now, you’re in the same position I was – leaving Nationwide and striking out on your own – but you have on advantage I didn’t have, someone who can help you find the way. You can learn from the mistakes I’ve made, and take advantage of the connections and experience I’ve built.
You may be excited, nervous, or outright scared. The journey ahead may seem daunting, after all, you’ve only been with Nationwide, and everything is about to change. But trust me, you can do it. I did.
