McGriff announced today that it has restructured its Personal Lines operations to allow for direct support to the Private Client sales and service functions within the division, following a period of substantial growth and profitability for the line of business. Private Client sales and service team management will now fall to a new centralized team of experienced personal lines leaders.
“From training and onboarding to sales coaching and cross-sell collaboration, this new structure will allow for even more personalized attention on the unique needs of our private client segment,” said Crystal Sanderson, national director, Small Business and Personal Lines for McGriff. “It makes sense to leverage the collective knowledge and experience these leaders bring.”
A new Sales Leader group will manage Private Client advisors and drive the profitability and growth of their state or region while maintaining personal production and client management responsibilities. The Sales Leaders will report to Jerry Elliott, Director, Private Client Sales.
