What is TAAR?

The Anderson Agency Report (TAAR) is a monthly membership that provides practical, up-to-date information for maximizing your insurance technology investment.

It's the only insurance agency membership focused on operation and technology improvements for the insurance agency.

TAAR consistently addresses topics on the leading edge of agency efficiency. By adapting many of the suggestions addressed, our agency has been able to thrive in a time when others have failed or merged. Thank you Steve for making us uncomfortable.

We have been subscribing to The Anderson Agency Report for at least 10 years (probably more) and I have always relied on your reports to keep me abreast of the latest developments in automation for insurance agents. Any others that I tried looked like they were written for geeks only, and 95% of their content was not insurance related. I also like the idea of not having any advertisers that you can't say bad things about.
