About
In this episode of Declaration of Independence on Agency Nation Radio Podcast, Osiris Maldonado, the co-founder of Pronto Insurance located in Schaumburg, Illinois sits down with Will Jones, Independent Agent magazine editor-in-chief. Osiris shares her journey from car sales into agency ownership and how educating her staff and the community creates a ripple effect of loyalty and success.
“I always thought, if I ever had an agency, I would do things differently,” says Osiris. “A lot of agencies focus on selling a policy to be profitable, not on educating the Hispanic community.”
Today, Pronto Insurance is focusing on expanding into new states, entering new lines of insurance, and training licensed agents. As the majority of Pronto’s clients and staff are Hispanic, Osiris is making it her mission to educate her community about insurance, and provide a stable, rewarding career to her staff. Find out how she expanded her team, writing over $4.5 million in personal lines premium in 2022.
