Larry McClendon Talks About the NIA Experience

Let's take some time to talk about the NIA experience.  Larry McClendon founded National Insurance Agency in Dallas with the dream of providing the highest quality work environment for insurance agents.  Now, two decades later, his dream is a reality.

Larry McClendon has built NIA into a company with long term experience and navigation in a tough economy.  It is financially stable and it is consistently reinvesting in agents.  Agents are the life blood of NIA, and Larry McClendon has structured the company to maximize agent benefits.  Through Assurant Health Access, Daily Advanced Commissions, and online agent tools, NIA has become the most successful agency in Dallas.

"At NIA, we have always believed in our business model.  It has been copied by many in the industry," NIA CEO Larry McClendon says, "They say imitation is the best form of flattery-however, NIA has always strived to be a leader/innovator and not a follower." 

Since 1996, NIA has advanced applications on submit.  Larry McClendon took the idea, created parameters and refined NIA into a well-oiled, well-run machine-automated from EFT's and renewals.  We developed daily payroll by EFT, we developed text messaging EFT notifications, or text to consumers that their policy was approved and then let the text or email ask for 6 referrals.  All of these tools work to put NIA agents ahead of the competition.

"Training is the key to the equation,"  Larry says about NIA, "We set ourselves apart with live product training every week and live online sales training twice a week."  We provide agents with a trustworthy home to rely on, and they provide us with consistent production and loyalty.  This loyalty goes both ways, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
