This year ADSI Moving Systems had 6 employees in attendance for the event, two of whom were attending the learning conference for the first time. We met up with Jason Grove, our new sales manager, and Kristin Stokes, our marketing assistant, to see what insights and first impressions they had to share after their first learning conference experience.

What did you feel was the most beneficial part of the learning conference?
Jason:Networking with other agents and being able to put faces with names. I also enjoyed spending time with the other ADSI team members and getting to know everyone on a more professional and personal level.

Kristin:  Definitely the breakout sessions! I was able to pick classes that were applicable to things we are currently working to improve. It was nice to see that other agencies are doing similar things and to get new ideas and troubleshoot things with other industry professionals.

What was the most surprising thing about the learning conference?

Jason: Meeting so many attendees with longevity with the Company [UniGroup]

Kristin: The sense of community. It was almost like a huge reunion, I thought it was really great to be able to see the camaraderie among the different agencies from all over the world!

What was your biggest “take-away” from your first learning conference experience?

Jason: How to relate and sell to millenials. I really enjoyed the main session message from Jason Dorsey.

Kristin: I most enjoyed the marketing panel session I attended, it was a great opportunity to talk to some of the larger agencies and see how they are tackling some of the new opportunities in marketing and how they are working to overcome the shift to digital marketing and selling.

What would you say to someone who is considering attending the learning conference in the future?

Jason:It will be an eye opening experience, seeing how large of a company we [UniGroup] are.

Kristin: Its a great opportunity to meet and learn from other agents, sometimes you get so caught up in your daily routine, you forget there is an entire network of people out there who can help you, so it’s nice to be reminded of that, and get to see it face to face.
