November 2023
Welcome to the brand-new Integrity newsletter! We are excited to kick off this new aspect of communication to keep all offices in touch with one another. These newsletters will provide employees with information on the top reps from the month prior, incentives and spiffs for the current month, and other various tidbits going on within the Integrity family! We will also include a “Value Menu” with key tips about auto and homes. This will act as a small training section with monthly bits to brush up on. With that being said, let's get to it!

We would also like to recognize California’s top home rep, Lianne Fairchild for sealing 55 deals this past month. Another month on top for Lianne! Way to go!

Keeping his seat in first place, Ryan Hone once again ended the month with 112 TO deals.
