76th Anniversary of D-Day
Tomorrow, 6 June 2020 is the 76th anniversary of D-Day and again our Nation is under attack.
The enemy this time, #COVID-19, is perhaps more frightening because it's less understandable. However, there are parallels - wrong information, propaganda, fools and knaves - make dealing with the enemy more difficult.
On June 6, 1944 I was 15 mos old and my dad was flying B-25s in North Africa.
This June 6th, Dad is with Our Lord, I'm over 21 and committed to an effort to deal with two parts of the business impact of #COVID-19.
For the first part, my firm, Virtual Financial Group, is announcing a new initiative, new tools, ... to help insurance marketing agencies deal with the new reality that our industry faces. The insurance industry is 300 years old and populated by, as my grandson says "Q-tips". #COVID-19 has forced the adoption of cloud-based tools and procedures. It hasn't been pretty.
Fortunately, a visionary group saw this coming nearly seven years ago ( not #coronavirus, but the necessity to move to the cloud) and took action. Now we are reaping the benefits of having been an early adoptor:
- We already know how to do it - we've paid the price to learn
- We have the tools
- We have the people
The second part we are dealing with is the massively expanded desire / need for #workfromhome, #sidehustle, ... Millions of people have been reminded that their J.O.B doesn't offer any security.
Now they are looking for a new Plan A or, at least, a Plan B. The ranks of "entrepreneurs" has increased more in the past few weeks than in the past few years.
On Saturday morning, 6 June 2020, we'll offer to share that knowledge with entrepreneurs, agents and agencies who need it.
