AgencyKPI was founded in 2017 by Trent Richmond and Bobby Billman. Trent, a veteran of the insurance industry, previously served as the CEO of Combined Agents of America and was also the former president and chairman of the board of Bridges Group Insurance. Bobby, on the other hand, held executive leadership positions at companies like Motorola Mobility (a Google company), Samsung Mobile, Dell, Dish Network, and Nokia Mobile.
The idea for AgencyKPI emerged from a chance meeting between these two industry experts. They recognized that the independent insurance channel lacked comprehensive data, hindering decision-making, and relied heavily on anecdotal or limited information. The absence of a unified business intelligence platform prompted them to create AgencyKPI, which now provides collaborative planning, operational efficiencies, and benchmarking solutions for the insurance industry. The platform addresses challenges such as collecting data from carriers, wholesalers, and independent insurance agencies, in varying formats and ensuring trust in the data, filling a critical gap in the marketplace.
