POLSON – Bishop Insurance Service, a member of Seitz Insurance Agency, retained its Best Practices status for 2024, joining an elite group of independent insurance agencies from across the United States.
The Best Practices Agency designation is awarded to participants in the Best Practices Study, which analyzes and documents the business practices of the industry’s highest-performing insurance agencies.
Over 2,600 independent agencies throughout the U.S. were nominated for the selection process. For the 2024 Study year, only 235 independent agencies throughout the U.S. qualified for and retained their status as Best Practices agencies. Bishop Insurance Service is one of two Montana insurance agencies to receive this recognition.
“We are honored to be recognized again as a Best Practices Agency, a reflection of our team’s hard work, dedication to excellence, and commitment to providing exceptional service to our clients,” said David Seitz, president. “This achievement highlights our focus on innovation, continuous improvement, and the unwavering trust our clients place in us.”
Since 1993, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA or the Big “I”) and Reagan Consulting, an Atlanta-based management consulting firm, have joined forces to study the country’s leading agencies in six categories.
Best Practices agencies are selected every three years through a rigorous nomination and qualifying process. Each agency must be among the 35-45 top-performing agencies in its category to be awarded Best Practices status.
“Being recognized as a Best Practices Agency is a true reflection of our dedication to excellence,” said Operations Manager Debbie Vassar. “This achievement highlights the hard work and commitment of our team to deliver top-tier service and trusted guidance to our clients every day. It’s an honor to be part of an agency so devoted to raising industry standards.”
Best Practices agencies retain their status annually during the three-year cycle by submitting extensive financial and operational data for review. 2024 is the third year of the current three-year study cycle.
In 2023, Bishop Insurance Services joined Seitz Insurance Agency to continue its customer care and community engagement commitment. With locations in Polson and Sidney, the agency offers a comprehensive selection of insurance products, including personal, commercial, farm, and ranch, group benefits, and surety coverage, tailored to meet the specific needs of Montana’s communities.
Founded in 1896, the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (the Big “I”) is the nation’s oldest and largest national association of independent insurance agents and brokers, representing over 25,000 agency locations united under the Trusted Choice brand. Trusted Choice independent agents offer consumers all types of insurance—property, casualty, life, health, employee benefit plans, and retirement products—from various insurance companies.
