FIELD AGENT TESTIMONIALS FOR THE
MARLOWE AGENCY

I have worked for Bob since July of 2011. Bob Marlowe is as smart and savvy in our industry as anyone I have ever been in contact with. When I first started working for the KofC he dedicated the majority of my first three months to me and my professional development as he does with every single agent he hires. He has structure and systems that are proven to work. He personally trains us not only to sell but to be organized and compliant to all industry regulations. I am proud to say that I not only consider Bob to be an excellent manager and professional saleman, but also a friend. Bob's philosophy that he clearly conveys to me is to be honest with your clients and always have their best interests at heart and there will be no way that you cannot be successful. Bob has such strong conviction when it comes to the quality and strength of the Knights of Columbus products. Bob proudly owns the products that he sells and has encourages all of us to own Knights of Columbus products as well - so we may also fully realize the many benefits of owning and selling such a wonderful product.

I proudly work hard for Bob because he is great manager and a great guy in general who many of us in the office refer to as the "Hardest working man in the insurance business."

Bob Marlowe is consistently one of the top General Agents in the Knights of Columbus. His dedication to the success of his agents is priority one. Not only is he there to give his undivided attention to new agents, but he is a great mentor to the more experienced agents in the agency. Bob has always kept abreast of changes in the industry and is extremely knowledgeable. Not only does he encourage agents to better themselves through educational courses, Bob himself has obtained the highest levels of education offered by the industry. The fact that the Marlowe Agency has so many long tenured agents is a testament to Bob's system and sucess. You can be assured you will receive the best training available. I cannot think of a better situation for a new agent to start a career in this industry than doing this with the Marlowe Agency.

I have been working for Bob for 25 years and outside of marrying the woman that I did, it was the best life decision I have made. Bob cares about the lives of the men entrusted to him...and that is a special thing to find!

Bob, I want to thank you again for coming with me last night for the policy review with Greg and Denise. As you know, this couple has one of the largest KofC insurance portfolios in my assigned business. Your presence really made a difference for both me and them. You now have 17 agents vying for your attention, so again, thank you for keeping last night open to ride along with me.

My sales career now exceeds 37 years. I have worked with many sales managers throughout those years. You are the best sales manager I have ever worked with.

You are available when I need help. Your knowledge of product and the industry is outstanding. You are 100% loyal and willing to "go to bat" for your agents. Your attitude is positive, encouraging and motivating. Your fellow up and organization is worthy of imitation. And everybody likes you.

I intend to continue giving you my best effort and I am confident that we will both enjoy continued success.

I have worked with Bob Marlowe for the last 12 years and have observed that as a person, manager, mentor, etc, he is top notch. He is always positive and professional. He is highly intelligent, knowledgeable, focused and committed to his profession, his agents as well as our clients. And yet with all of his achievements over the last 30 plus years, he is modest and humble.

I'm thankful and blessed that I have had the pleasure to have worked with him all these years.
John Sampery, FICF

Bob, thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this agency. Over the last year and a half, I have come to realize that this is the best group of 17 guys I have ever worked with. Everyone supports and encourages each other and Sharon helps to keep everything together. Also, I have never worked for a better sales manager in any of my 23 years in sales. I can't believe there is anyone more knowledgeable about what we do than you. Yet, I don't think there is ever a week that goes by that you don't say, "I learned something new today," There is no one more dedicated to what we do.

It is also very rewarding to be a field agent for the Knights of Columbus. Nothing feels better than when you help a Brother Knight and their family. While you are earning a living, the Knights of Columbus are putting their profits to good use with over $158 Million given to charity. Wow, what a feeling.

There is no place I would rather be.

Bob Marlowe is the most professional sales manager I have ever worked for in my 20+ years in the industry. Bob manages 17 Field Agents within the Marlowe Agency, all with different sales styles, personalities and backgrounds, but does so in a calming, orderly and very helpful manner. When a new agent is brought into the Marlowe Agency, he gets to spend three full months learning the business from Bob before that Field Agent is available to produce in his own business territory. To put this into perspective, I have friends and family that work as agents for commercial insurance companies and they have all told me that they were lucky to spend a few days with their General Agent or sales manager. Bob simply puts in the time to prepare his new Field Agents, so those agents are prepared for their clients.

I cannot thank Bob enough for his time and professionalism and look forward to ending my sales career and retiring in about 20 years from the Marlowe Agency!

I have been in the insurance business for over 23 years. Over these years, I have seen many employees come and go. Quite frankly, this business is not right for everyone.

It takes a special person to weather the storm of constant rejection and frustration while believing so strongly in his heart that what he is doing, as a career, is so good and so beneficial to his fellow Brother Knights and their families that he must persist. Bob Marlowe is such a person!

I have had the honor of knowing and working with Bob for over 20 years. His passion for his work as a Knights of Columbus General Agent radiates to the 17 field agents that he manages. His enthusiasm is infectious. But perhaps his greatest quality is his sincere concern for the well being of his agents, their families and all members of the Order in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Bob is perhaps the most knowledgeable insurance person that I have ever known. As an agent, I take comfort in knowing that if I have a question that I can come to Bob for guidance and direction. And, I have seen Bob display this same competance and expertise while visiting with Brother Knights and their families on many insurance calls. His sincerity and genuine willingness to help anyone who has a need is a tremendous quality not often seen in the business world.
