Institute for Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Education Partner
“Don’t swallow the frog” was a phrase taught to the students today by Spencer Burkhart of Burkhart Insurance.
Spencer talked to the students about the important mottos that have driven their company to success and continue to help propel them forward in a constantly evolving business.
Ethics over profit, being truthful to clients no matter what and providing exceptional customer service is what has set this company apart in an age where customers can choose to buy online instead of having to buy through a local agent.
What does “don’t swallow the frog” mean you ask?….Don’t hold in the truth. Be honest so the problem can be addressed and resolved.
Thanks Spencer for your time and insight!
