Ned Ryerson And The Future Of Insurance

We may be approaching a crisis-level talent gap. Why? Perhaps because so few young people have had a positive introduction to the industry.

Does the name Ned Ryerson sound familiar? Perhaps just vaguely familiar, but you can’t quite remember where you’ve seen or heard the name?

I’ll give you a hint: BING! How about now? Still don’t remember? Did you see the Harold Ramis film, “Groundhog Day”? BING!! Remember the annoying insurance salesman who torments Bill Murray’s character, Phil Connors, every morning, claiming to have attended the same high school when they were kids? BING!!!

Remember how he shouted his cheesy, personalized catch-word as he badgered Phil to buy nearly every type of insurance known to man?
