The annual study of leading independent insurance agencies, which is conducted for IIABA by Reagan Consulting of Atlanta, Ga., documents the business practices of these high performance agencies and urges others to adopt similar practices.<\/p>\n<p>About BFS Insurance Group<\/p>\n<p>BFS Insurance Group was founded in 2009 in Clarksville, TN.
